VJOKE

A Dad buys a lie detector robot that slaps you if you lie.
Dad: Son, where were you today during school hours of 8:30am to 3:30pm?
Son: At school Dad – The robot then slaps the son.
Son: Okay I was watching Iron Man 1, 2, 3 and 4  at home while you and Mum were at work – The robot slaps his son again.
Son: Okay I was watching extremely, violent movies.
Dad: What?! When I was your age I never watched those kinds of movies – The robot slaps the dad.
Mom: Haha, after all, he is your son – The robot then slaps the mom…

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 ‘Stakes’ were first run in 1869 and was won by Glencoe, it was originally known as the Melbourne Stakes.  The race had it’s name change in 1937 and was named after a former chairman of the Victoria Racing Club, Lauchlan Kenneth Scobie (“L.K.S.”) MacKinnon (1861–1935). In 2016 the LKS Mackinnon Stakes was moved from Derby Day and renamed the Emirate Stakes. The move of the Stakes to the final day of the Carnival has marked the end of an era with Melbourne Cup runners no longer able to win the MacKinnon Stakes and the Melbourne Cup in the same week. The Mackinnon Stakes has rightfully had it’s name reinstated two years ago in 2018. The following thoroughbreds have won the MacKinnon Stakes – Melbourne Cup in the same year: Malua (1884), Carbine (1890), Phar Lap (1930), Peter Pan (1932, 1934), The Trump (1937), Comic Court (1950), Delta (1951), Dalray (1952), Rising Fast (1954), Rain Lover (1968), At Talaq (1986), Empire Rose (1988), Let’s Elope (1991) and Rogan Josh (1999)……
