VJOKE

1st TEXT MESSAGE: Hi George, this is Richard your next door neighbour. I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve been completely riddled with guilt for a number of months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you this face-to-face. At least I’m telling you in this text. I can’t live with myself a minute longer without your knowing about this. The truth is that when you’re not around I’ve been sharing your wife, day and night. In fact, probably much more than you. I haven’t been getting it at home recently and I know that’s no excuse, however the temptation was just too great and I can’t live with the guilt anymore. I am very, very sorry. I hope you’ll accept my sincere apology and forgive me. Please suggest a fee for usage and I’ll pay you straight away………Regards……Richard
George, feeling enraged and betrayed grabbed his gun, went next door and shot Richard dead. He returned home and shot his wife dead, then poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. George then looked at his phone and discovered a 2nd text message from Richard.

2nd TEXT MESSAGE: Hi George, Richard here again. Sorry about the typo on my last text. I assume you figured it out and noticed that the darned spell-check had changed “wi-fi” to “wife.” Technology, huh it does it all the time? It’ll be the death of us all.

This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Garry R. Thanks for the sending in that funny joke G. Keep sending them in 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 it up for you.

VFACTS

The race has grown in importance over the recent years with increases in prizemoney and class and has become Western Australia’s premier sprint race. The race is run on the middle weekend of the Perth Summer Carnival, being run the week after the Railway Stakes and WA Guineas, and the weekend before the Kingston Town Classic. The prize money was raised to $1 million in 2015. It was first run in 1937 and was previously run on Railway Stakes day, it is now the highlight of the second week of the Perth Summer Festival. The Winterbottom Stakes was originally over 1,400m but from 1993 it was shortened to 1,200m. The Winterbottom Stakes was a Principal Race then a Group 2 from 1979 to 2010 when it achieved Group 1 status after the WA Derby lost its. Since it became a Group 1 elite sprinters have run in it. Buffering was twice a winner and Ortensia won it a second time before heading on her international trek which included a G1 Al Quoz Sprint, G2 King George Stakes and G1 Nunthorpe. Subsequent G1 winners to come out of the 2016 race included Sheidel, Vega Magic and Terravista. Viddora continued the good run of form with her taking a Moir Stakes after her Perth victory. In 2008, one of the great clashes of modern elite sprinters saw Takeover Target defeat Apache Cat by a nose. Notable winners of the Winterbottom Stakes include Hey Doc (Last year), Takedown (2016), Buffering (2013/2015), Ortensia (2009/2011), Takeover Target (2001), Marasco (2006), Miss Andretti (2005), Hardrada (2002/2003), Bradson (1998), Jacks Or Better (1995), Barrosa Boy (1992), Placid Ark (1987), Jungle Mist (1985), Asian Beau (1979), Romantic Dream (1977), Starglow (1973), La Trice (1970/1971), Nicopolis (1962), Chestnut Lady (1954) and Raconteur (1952).
