VJOKE

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. ‘Careful,’ he said, ‘CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They’re going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you’re cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don’t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!’ The wife stared at him. ‘What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don’t know how to fry a couple of eggs?’ The husband calmly replied, “I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m driving.”

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 Victoria Derby was first run in 1855 when Rose of May scored an impressive victory, amazingly that was six years before the Melbourne Cup was first run and won by Archer. It has basically always been 2,500 metres (one year in 1972 it was 2,400 metres) and has been Group 1 since 1979. Over the journey of the great race there has been a few change of race dates so this enabled Fireworks to win the VRC Derby twice, once in November 1867 and New Years Day in 1868. If anyone is unsure the “Flower of the day” is the blue cornflower. The Best winner of the Victoria Derby and Australia’s greatest ever horse was Phar Lap in 1929. Bobby Lewis has the most wins by a jockey with eight between 1900 to 1927. James Scobie has the most wins by a Trainer with eight between 1900 and 1937. Some of the famous names to have one this great race include Briseis (1876), Poseidon (1906), Manfred (1925), Phar Lap (1929), Hall Mark (1933), Comic Court (1948), Tulloch (1957), Tobin Bronze (1965), Daryl’s Joy (1969), Taj Rossi (1973), Dulcify (1978), Red Anchor (1984), Stylish Century (1989), Nothin’ Leica Dane (1995), Elvstroem (2003), Efficient (2006), and Rebel Raider at $101 in 2008. Mahogany who won the VRC Derby in 1993 at 3/1 ($4) won eight Group 1 Races and was owned by Kerry Packer and Lloyd Williams, he was trained by Lee Freedman. For those of you that visit Melbourne’s Crown Casino, the Mahogany Room was named after him. To watch the amazing 1993 victory by Mahogany winning by seven lengths – CLICK HERE
