Horse Racing Favourites

Do horse racing favourites win when the money is on? Do favourites lose when they ease in the betting? Are favourites more successful over longer distances than 1000 metres? Do favourites lose on wet tracks? Do favourites lose when first up from a spell? Are horse racing favourites worse bets in large fields?

These questions and more will be answered on a regular basis as we update the results of horse racing favourites on a regular basis.

We'll concentrate on Saturday races in Melbourne. These results over the long term should be comparable with results of Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide races on Saturdays.

Here are the results from Caulfield, Saturday, 21st. March, 2009.

Comments:
Tony Noonan pulled off an excellent training feat in R4 with Ortensia winning over the 1000 metres after a spell of 182 days. In R2 Buffett was sent out a short priced favourite, but was not able to win after jumping in distance from 1400 metres to 2000 metres. In R3 despite being unplaced at its previous start, Dance On Air won. The other two winning favourites both were placed at their previous starts.
