VJOKE

A Religious Education school teacher in suburban Melbourne at St. John’s East Frankston is concerned that his Grade Six students might be a little confused about Jesus, so he asks his class, “Where is Jesus today?” Lyndon raises his hand and says, “He’s in heaven.” Nicole answers, “He’s in my heart.” Robbie waves his hand furiously and blurts out, “He’s in our bathroom!” The surprised teacher asks Robbie how he knows this. “Well,” Robbie says, “every morning, my Dad gets up, bangs on the bathroom door and yells “Jesus Christ, are you still in there?!’”

VBIGBETS

Last Saturday the largest winning wager with us was at Sandown:

VBET

This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Eve F. Thanks for opening an account in April Eve, Good Luck with your free $100 VBET….

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….

VMEETINGS

The Spring Carnival is up and away now, we have Group One Racing at Flemington, Randwick and Hastings (NZ) along with a great support list of Group two and three races. Plus all the overseas venues including Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and all the other available race meetings.

VKEEPING

Lots of people ask about the ID and where to send it. Once the account is established you have 14 days to send us the 100 points of ID, the best two items are a Passport and a Driver’s License.

VFACTS

The Turnbull Stakes was first run in 1865 over 3,200 metres and was won by The Sign, only four years after the running of the first Melbourne Cup. It is now 2,000 metres and is for horses four years and older. It hit Group One status from 2010 onwards (one year in 2006 it was Group 1) and has been known as the Turnbull Stakes after the VRC Chairman at the time Richard Turnbull since 1948. It started out in 1865 to 1894 as the Royal Park Stakes, then the September Stakes (1895-1897), the October Stakes (1898-1935), the Melbourne Stakes (1936-1947) and finally the Turnbull Stakes from 1948 onwards. It is the ideal platform for horses preparing for the Caulfield Cup and the Melbourne Cup. Some famous winners include Wakeful (1903), Amounis (1930), Ajax (1938, 40), Bernborough (1946), Comic Court (1949-1950), Rising Fast (1954), Tobin Bronze (1966), Galilee (1968), Leilani (1974), Dulcify (1979), Super Impose (1989), Better Loosen Up (1990), Let’s Elope (1991), Naturalism (1992), Doriemus (1996), Sunline (2001), Northerly (2002), Makybe Diva (2005), Efficient (2009), Winx twice in recent years (2017-18) and finally last year’s winner Verry Elleegant who is possibly fronting up again this Saturday as the Defending Champ….……..Watch the unbelievable win by Winx at $1.10 in the 2018 Turnbull Stakes – CLICK HERE
