VJOKE

A young man went into confession crying, and told the priest: “Forgive me father for I have sinned”. “What have you done?” asked the priest. “A few weeks ago I went to the library. I remained there until closing time and when I was about to go home, rain started pouring down. It was so intense I had to wait in the library. I had waited for a while with the librarian, a young attractive single girl, then one thing led to another, and I ended up sleeping with her”. The man stopped talking but kept weeping. “Well don’t cry, it’s a sin but it is not that bad. You should say five Hail Marys and it will be forgiven”. Said the priest. “But it doesn’t end there” the man kept sobbing. “a few days later my elderly neighbour asked me to help her with her computer. Her husband was hospitalized and she couldn’t send an email to her son. I went there and fixed the problem, but when I was about to leave, rain started pouring down. It was really stormy and I had to wait. One thing led to another and I ended up sleeping with the old lady” the man cried. “Oh dear well that makes it harder indeed, but still – you should say 15 Hail Marys and you will be forgiven” Said the priest. “Oh I’m afraid the worst part is still ahead” cried the man. “Yesterday I went to the barber. I was his last client that day. As soon as he finished and was about to close the shop rain started pouring down so intensely, I had to wait with him. One thing led to another and I ended up sleeping with him as well” the man cried. “Oh dear, it is indeed worse than I thought” said the priest. “So what should I do father?” the man asked. “Well” answered the priest, “you should get the hell out of here before it starts raining!”.

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 race was first held in 1992 and is named in honour of the former champion racehorse and sire Vain. The Vain Stakes is the first Group race of the new racing season for Colts & Geldings only and most of the time the assembled field is made up of returning stars on their way to bigger races, or fit, in-form winter gallopers testing themselves in stronger grade. The most prominent winners are Haradasun (2006), Starspangledbanner (2009) and Sepoy (2011)…..Now who the race is named after: Vain (1966–1991) was a champion Racehorse that dominated Australian sprint racing in the period 1968–70 when he won 12 of the 14 races he contested and ran close seconds in the other two. Vain was bred and raced by Melbourne brothers Walter, Fred, and George Johnson and was trained by Jim Moloney in the Melbourne suburb of Mordialloc. His normal jockey was Pat Hyland, who rode him to all his wins. As a two-year-old Vain was undefeated in Melbourne in the Spring of 1968 and the Autumn of 1969, winning races such as the VRC Sires Produce. Moving to Sydney, he won the Golden Slipper Stakes by four lengths and the Champagne Stakes by 10 lengths, the latter in the fastest time ever recorded for a two-year-old over six furlongs (1,200 metres). As a three-year-old, Vain won the Caulfield Guineas by three lengths, then campaigned in the VRC Spring Carnival, winning over eight days the Craven ‘A’ Stakes by 12 lengths and the Linlithgow Stakes by six lengths. In his final race, he carried a record 10 lb over weight-for-age (WFA) in winning the 1969 George Adams Handicap. Vain set an Australian prize money records as a two-year-old and three-year-old. His only defeat as a three year old was against the champion New Zealand colt Daryl’s Joy, who also won the W S Cox Plate and Victoria Derby and who later raced successfully in the United States as a stayer including winning at Group one level. Vain sired two Golden Slipper winners and was a leading sire in Australia. He is also the great-great grand-sire of Black Caviar on the dam side….Watch Vain win the 1969 Golden Slipper Stakes – CLICK HERE
