VJOKE

With the United States election in full swing let’s roll the clock back nearly three decades: Whilst campaigning in 1992, Bill Clinton discovered that his wife Hillary had almost married a small town Mechanic from South Chicago. On pointing out to Hillary how close she came to not been the next First Lady, she quickly replied that had she married the Mechanic, he then would have been the next President…..

VBET

This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Warren C. Thanks for opening an account in September, also thanks to everyone for sending the jokes in (some good, some not so good) and the feedback by Live Chat or email to vicbet@vicbet.com…..

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 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……

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. Click on the link below to revisit the amazing 1993 victory in the VRC Derby:
