VJOKE

Jack and his date Blossom were parked on a back road some distance from Newcastle, doing what boys and girls do on back roads some distance from Newcastle. Things were getting hot and heavy when Blossom stopped Jack. “I really should have mentioned this earlier, but I’m actually a hooker and I charge $120 for sex.” She said. Jack just looked at her for a couple of seconds, but then reluctantly paid her and they went on to have a great time for the next hour. After they were done and had smoked a cigarette, Jack just sat in the driver’s seat looking out the window. “Why aren’t we going anywhere?” Asked Blossom “Well.” Jack replied with a grin on his face. “I should have mentioned this before, but I’m actually a Taxi Driver and the fare back to Newcastle is $130.”

The selection is chosen and the $100 VBET is for The Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington– $100 on Western Empire at $5……

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….

VMEETINGS

It was another great day of racing last weekend and an even better one coming up. All the main attention will be for Flemington with the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes and also two Group 2 Races. Rosehill also has a big day with three Group 2 Races and a Group 3 Race….

VFACTS

Maykbe Diva became the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup on three occasions in 2003, 2004, and 2005. In 2005, she also won the Cox Plate and is the second highest stakes-earner in Australian horse racing history behind Winx ($19,290,424), finishing with winnings of $14,526,690 upon her retirement in November 2005. She is one of only five horses to have won the Cup more than once and the only mare among the list of multiple winners. She is also one of only 14 female horses (11 mares and three fillies) to have won the Cup. Makybe Diva is owned by South Australian tuna fisherman Tony Šantić, who named her after five of his employees – Maureen, Kylie, Belinda, Diane, and Vanessa – by taking the first two letters from each of their names. Originally named the Craiglee Stakes (first run in 1948) after the home in Sunbury of Wilfred Henry Johnston (1864 – 1951), chairman of the VRC stipendiary stewards between 1924 and 1945, the Group One Maykbe Diva Stakes is now dedicated to Champion racehorse Makybe Diva……Watch the Famous third Melbourne Cup of the Champ in 2005 – CLICK HERE
