VJOKE

I caught up with my mate TD recently for a coffee, he is retired legendary Sydney Rugby Union Star. I said to him “What is wrong mate, you don’t seem your normal, happy, effervescent self ?”. He said his wife D isn’t talking to him. “I asked why is that?”. “She claims I completely ruined her 60th birthday. I’m not sure how that could be……I didn’t even know it was her birthday!”

VBIGBETS

Last Saturday the largest winning wager with us was at Moonee Valley:

• Moonee Valley Race 9 – Viral $2k Fixed at $19 – Credit of $36k to the VICBET Client…..

And the largest losing wager with us was at Randwick:

• Randwick Race 10 – Big Boy Roy $5k BOB at $5 – Loss of $5k to the VICBET Client..

Don’t forget, we have the Daily Big Bets appearing in “Real Time” on the VICBET Home Page on the Main website, they appear as the largest wager first……

VBET

This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Ned F. Thanks for setting up an account late last year Ned, all the names go in the barrel and today you are the lucky winner. Good Luck with your free $100 VBET….

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 Memsie Stakes was first run in 1899 and is worth $1m with $600k going to the winner. Lord has won the most Memsies with four wins from 1958 to 1961, but the most famous winner has to be Australia’s greatest ever racehorse – Phar Lap in 1931. The race is often used as a lead-up race by good horses preparing for the longer feature races such as the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and the Melbourne Cup. Such horses typically compete against less glamorous, and usually fitter, sprinter-milers who have been trained specifically for this race. Speed and fitness seem to prevail over class about half the time, as can be seen in the list of recent winners. As the race comes early in the Spring, it will often indicate how well a horse has come back after its customary winter spell. There is sometimes just as much interest in the horses running on well from the back of the field, as there is in the actual winner. A good run by a staying horse in this race is often a good indicator of a successful Spring Carnival to come. The list of previous winners of the race contain recent champions, including Sincero, So You Think, Weekend Hussler, Makybe Diva, Sunline, Naturalism, Rancho Ruler, Manikato, and famous champions from the 20th century Galilee, Rising Fast, Comic Court, Lord (four times), Ajax (three times) and Phar Lap….Let’s have a look at some of the great Memsies in recent times – CLICK HERE
