VJOKE
A wife woke up one morning after a long restful sleep. She stretches out and turns to her husband Geoffrey and says, you know, I had the weirdest dream ever. I dreamt that you gave me a beautiful diamond necklace. What do you think my dream means? Geoffrey then responds, well you’ll know tonight when I get home from the Pub. Later that evening Geoffrey comes home with a tiny package for his wife. Here darling, this is for you. Super Excited, the wife opens the package to see what it is inside. She pulls out a book called Dream Interpretations and Meanings…..

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 it up for you….

VFACTS
The Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes is for fillies and mares at Morphettville. It was a Group 3 Race known as the Swettenham Stud Stakes but was eventually elevated to Group One status in 2005 won by Alinghi.
The Robert Sangster Stakes was first run in 1983 and was won by Ranee’s Palace. Three year olds hadn’t been having a great run with no winners since Rostova in 2010 until Shoals in 2018. Robert Sangster passed away in 2004 and was a British businessman, thoroughbred racehorse owner and breeder. Sangster’s horses won 27 European Classics and more than 100 Group One races, including two Epsom Derbys, four Irish Derbys, two French Derbys, three Prix de l’Arc de Triomphes, as well as the Breeders’ Cup Mile and the Melbourne Cup. From the mid-1970s, in partnership with John Magnier and Vincent O’Brien, Sangster transformed the sport of thoroughbred horseracing. Their dramatic buying of American-bred yearlings at the Keeneland Sales in Kentucky led to tremendous success and established the Coolmore Stud in Ireland as one of the principal powers in the bloodstock world. Mick Price has three wins as a trainer with Lee Freedman three while the jockeys have spread it around as Damien Oliver has most with three winners. Fillies often go on to run in the other feature Group 1 sprint the Goodwood Handicap a fortnight later. Platelet (2013) and Black Caviar (2012) have done the double. Notable winners of the Robert Sangster Stakes include Leica Western (1990), With Me (1991), Dantelah (1999), Our Egyptian Raine (2003), Alinghi (2005), Black Caviar (2012), Miracles Of Life (2015), Shoals (2018) and Spright (2019).
The 2020 Robert Sangster Stakes was won by Bella Vella from Lyre and Bam’s On Fire.
VREFER
Many people think we are one of those Corporate outfits but that is not the case. With an emphasis on Horse Racing solely we are the Old Fashioned type of Bookmakers (four generations going back to 1941) concentrating purely on Horse Racing, no Sports, Harness or Greyhounds . My Late Father Allen Cleary was a Bookmaker from 1956 – 2006, his Uncle Bob was a Bookmaker from 1941 – 1961. Today it is myself Rod and my Son Tim sharing the reins. We are NOT Corporates, we work occasionally On Course at the Melbourne Metro Meetings on the Rails, however the vast majority of our turnover is Online. Once again your referrals are always very much appreciated and one of the main sources of us sourcing new Clients so thanks very much in advance…….
