VJoke

Shane Dies:

Three Aussie guys, Shane, Ricky and Jeff, were working on a high-rise building project in Wagga Wagga. Unfortunately, Shane falls off the scaffolding and is killed instantly.

As the ambulance takes the body away, Ricky says, ‘Someone should go and tell his wife.’ Jeff says, ‘OK, I’m pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I’ll do it.’ Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Crown Lagers. Ricky says, ‘Where did you get that, Jeff?’ ‘Shane’s wife gave it to me.’ Ricky continues, ‘That’s unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you the beer?’ ‘Well not exactly,’ Jeff said. ‘When she answered the door, I said to her, “You must be Shane’s widow”.’ She said, ‘No, I’m not a widow.’

And I said, ‘I’ll bet you a slab of Crown Lagers that you are.’

VMeetings

Another huge VRC Derby Day is in the books with punters off to a flying start with the heavily backed Sheidel and Oceanographer putting the bookies on the back foot. However with the typically tricky big fields later in the day, it wasn’t easy to find a winner and the bookies edged ahead in a titanic tussle. Again many punters took advantage of our $100 VPROMOTION – however the favourite Sacred Elixir went down to Prized Icon to give James Cummings his first VRC Derby on the eve of the Melbourne Cup. The race Bart Cummings made his own a record 12 times. A feat not likely to ever be repeated again…
Read our VPROMOTIONS section for the Cup day offer…
The $6 Million Melbourne Cup has turned into a genuinely international race. It was feared to be the beginning of the end for local victories way back in 1993 when the Dermot Weld Irish trained Vintage Crop won easily. However it wasn’t until 2002 that the overseas raiders would strike once more with the genius Weld striking again with Media Puzzle.This cup is an even more famous victory for Damien Oliver, who rode the winner despite the tragic loss of his brother only a short time earlier. The immortal Makybe Diva flew the flag for Australia to win the next three Cups until Delta Blues saluted for Japan in 2006.
Since then it has been neck and neck with both internationals and Aussies effectively taking half each. Prince of Penzance won for Michelle Payne and Darren Weir last year for Australia, saluting at 100/1 and knocking most punters in the country for 6!

VFact

Since Lee Freedman and Glen Boss became such a formidable partnership with Makybe Diva, most people tend to forget when the great mare won her first cup, Lee Freedman wasn’t even her trainer! David Hall, a great trainer in his own right trained Makybe Diva to her first Cup win in 2003 with Freedman taking over the reins in 2004 and 2005…
