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 the Moonee Valley night meeting held on Saturday, 2nd. January, 2010.

Comments:
It was a profitable meeting for favourites punters with three winners at bookmaker top fluctuation odds of $4.60, $3.30 and $3.10. In R1 Orbiting Belle after a spell of 119 days finished third over 1200 metres. However in R4 True Persuasion resumed from a spell of 161 days and won over 1200 metres. In R3 Cheddington jumped from an unplaced run over 2400 metres to 3000 metres seven days later and won. However in R7 Tango's Choice, which had also been unplaced at its previous race, a run over 1200 metres, dropped back in distance to 1000 metres 28 days later and did not win. Also unplaced at its previous start, in R8 The Red Emperor did not win. In R6 Custodian had a freshen up of 42 days between 1000 metres races which did not work out and finished eleventh.

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.
