Turf Deli - 150th Melbourne Cup - $150 Free Bet Offer
This year the VRC is proudly celebrating the 150th running of the prestigious, time honoured, horse thingy called the Melbourne Cup.
Turf Deli is proud to be associated with 150 Years of Losing Caulfield Cup - Melbourne Cup doubles.
To help celebrate, Turf Deli and IASBET have lined up a historic betting offer, which means you can spend most of Cup Week gouging yourself with $150 worth of free bets. That's one dollar for every Cup run.
Note that the $1 for every Cup run offer expires when they jump in the Cup, so don't try to be sneaky, wait and hope to cash it in for the 500th Cup in 2360 and expect to collect $500 in free bets. You can't fool us that easily.
IASBET have all the same bet types as the TAB, so you can avoid the queues, bet from home and best of all - bet for free. If only punters had it so easy in 1861.
Terms and conditions are detailed below. Note that part of this offer is especially organised for Turf Deli Subscribers and requires emailing of your account details as detailed below.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next couple of weeks the airwaves will be inundated with epic sepia toned historical flashbacks of the Cup Greats, voiced by over Australianised and over dramatised narrators to coincide with the 150th Melbourne Cup.
We will also be launching An Unreal 150 Year History of the Melbourne Cup, a totally factually incorrect and spurious piss take of Cup History.
Below is a sneak preview. Much more to come during Cup Week.
1875 - WOLLOMAI
The Cup is first run on a Tuesday, the day wisely chosen because just in case Cup Day ever became a public holiday, it would be easy to take Monday off as well and make it a 4 day weekend.
1927 - TRIVALVE
This year is also notable as being the year that Bart Cummings was born. Disappointingly he failed to even have a Cup runner, yet alone win a Cup in his first year of life.
1930 - PHARLAP
PHARLAP wins the Melbourne Cup and becomes a national icon. Unfortunately this was one of the last times that his hide, skeleton and heart were all in the one location, which dramatically cut short his racing career.
1965 - LIGHT FINGERS
Bart wins his first Melbourne Cup and earns the nickname "The Guy With One Cup".
