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 horse racing favourites' results from the meeting held at Flemington horse racing track on Saturday, 14th. March, 2009.

Comments:
What's interesting is that in R4 and R8, two of the five winning favourites were well out of the money in their previous start. In R4 Iamzeus dropped well down in class from an Open Group 2 race to a 3YO Open. Similarly in R8 Wilander dropped down in class from the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate to just a Listed Handicap. Leading jockey Damien Oliver was on four of the favourites, winning on two of them.

You
Need Top Odds
It's unlikely you'll get a high enough
strike rate backing short priced tote favourites
and poor value tote horses to make up for
big unders on the tote. Especially in Sydney and Melbourne metropolitan racing on Saturdays.
If you regularly get poor odds you increase your chances of losing money.
It's very unlikely you'll make a long term profit by consistently backing short
priced tote favourites.
