Melbourne Cup Joke
Riding the favourite in the Melbourne Cup, the jockey is well ahead of the field.
Suddenly he’s hit on the head by a turkey and a string of sausages.
He manages to keep control of his mount and pulls back into the lead,
only to be struck by a box of Christmas crackers
and a dozen mince pies as the round the final bend.
With great skill he manages to steer the horse to the front of the field once more when,
on the run in, he’s struck on the head by a bottle of sherry and a Christmas pudding.
Thus distracted, he succeeds in only coming second.
He immediately goes to the stewards to complain
that he has been seriously ‘hampered?

more funnies from Fremantle Port
One Liners
- The tipster said this horse would walk in. It did, but all the others galloped.
- I bet on a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.
- The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip.
- That was the first time I saw a horse start from a kneeling position!
- My horse was so late getting home, he tiptoed into the stable.

Stewards Joke
An inflatable jockey was riding an inflatable horse
for an inflatable trainer and an inflatable owner, for the first time.
Leading easily after the last he pulls up too early and two horse go past him.
After the race the jockey was so mad he stuck a pin in the horse,
then he stuck a pin in the trainer and then the owner.
He was called in front of the Stewards where he stuck a pin in himself.
The Stewards said to him,
'not only did you let the horse, the trainer and the owner down,
you have let yourself down.'

Sure-Bet
A horse walked into a TAB and up to the betting window and plopped his money down.
"I want to bet fifty dollars on myself to win the fifth race," said the horse.
"I don't believe it!" said the astonished TAB Agent.
"You don't believe what?", said the horse,
"That I can talk?"
"No", replied the clerk,
"You don't stand a chance of winning the fifth race.
------------------
Short One
A leading trainer was given an eye test and was presented with a new pair of glasses.
The optician said they would cost $500.
"That's too much!" cried the trainer.
"They're bi-focal" said the optician.
"I don't care if they're by Phar Lap. It's too much."
