VJOKE
Dusty Martin, Pope Francis, Donald Trump & a Haileybury school boy were all on the same plane when the engine suddenly failed. The Plane started to plummet towards Earth. They soon all realised that there was four of them on the plane & only three parachutes. Dusty jumped up and said “I am an AFL superstar, the best footballer in Australia, I will win my 4th Norm Smith medal in 2021 so I must live so that I can please all my fans and continue my career in the AFL!” So he grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane. Then Donald Trump bounced up and said “I am the world’s smartest Man and the Greatest leader of our generation, the United States needs me to live to lead the nation for at least the next few days.” So he followed Dusty and jumped out of the plane. Then the Pope looked to the school boy and said “I am 84 years-old and have lived a long life so you should take the last parachute.” The school boy replied, “No it’s OK, the world’s smartest President took my school bag so there’s one for each of us !”

VH2H – Head to Head Betting
VICBET H2H Betting is unique to us and is available every race day and night in two groups of three. It is the three Favourites (1st, 2nd and 3rd) combined in one H2H outcome and the second H2H is the 4th, 5th and 6th Favourites combined, excluding the Fav if it is Odds-on (under $2). This is a moving dynamic market so as the odds change for the actual race the odds will change for the H2H outcome. Also, you can pick your own H2H outcome, then simply go to our Live Chat or WhatsApp Tim Cleary (0433-339347) and he will price up for you.

VFACTS
The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s most important and best horse race and its history is incredibly rich dating back from the inaugural event run in 1861. Fondly called “The Race that Stops a Nation”, Melbourne Cup Day is a public holiday in Metropolitan Melbourne. Originally run on the first Thursday in November when Archer walked over 500 miles from Terara in New South Wales to participate in the first Melbourne Cup. Archer won again the following year for a prize of 810 gold sovereigns (£810) and a gold watch. When Archer went on to win the race in 1862, making him one of only five horses to win the event more than once. By 1865 Melbourne Cup Day was declared a half day holiday and then in 1877 it was declared a whole day holiday to allow patrons to crowd the Flemington Racecourse. The Melbourne Cup was first held on the first Tuesday of November in 1875 and it was in that year that it adopted the current four-day format. The Melbourne Cup in 1876 saw the three-year-old filly Briseis win and in a span of six days she won the Derby, the Cup and the Oaks. Apart from that very impressive record, she was ridden by the youngest jockey ever to win. Featherweight Peter St Albans was 12 years old when he and Briseis set this record that will definitely last for all Melbourne Cup history. Phar Lap is Australia’s most famous and best horse and was the Champion of the 1930 Melbourne Cup. He won the race as the shortest priced favourite in Melbourne Cup history at 11/8 odds on or $1.70 in today’s odds. Watch the 1930 Melbourne Cup: CLICK the link BELOW:
