Betting facts from Flemington, Saturday, 19th. December.

Three favourites won - Saddler's Story, $4.40, Luminous Harmony, $2.60 and Scenica, $3.10. However the shortest priced favourite of the day, Marconi, $1.85, ridden by Jason Maskiell, finished second in a field of five. But Jason Maskiell more than made up for this with favourites punters, riding a double in the next two races - Luminous Harmony and Saddler's Story.

Betting facts from Flemington, Saturday, 12th. December.

Punters backing the longer priced favourites had a great day with Red Belly Black, $3.50, Right Fong, $3.80 and Beltrois, $4.20 all winning. Glen Boss rode a winning treble - Red Belly Black, Beltrois and Sadalbari, $11.00. Danny O'Brien trained a good winning double, Cabeza, $11.30 best tote and Sincengarni, $7.00. However punters betting on the shortest starting price favourites did not win. and would have been screaming blue murder. Rain Shadow, ridden by Michael Rodd, started at $1.55 and finished a disappointing third in a small field of just five horses. Gibraltar Moon, ridden by Jason Maskiell, started at $2.20 and finished a three lengths beaten third in a small field of just seven horses. I guess it's results like those that make some punters wary of betting favourites in small fields. Sound Journey, ridden by Billy Egan, started at $2.35 and finished a well beaten tenth of 11. Iamzeus, another short priced favourite, ridden by Stephen Baster, started at $3.20 and finished eleventh of 15. While to top off the short priced favourites' disaster, in the last race of the day Vitex, $3.20 favourite, also ridden by Stephen Baster, finished second of 11.
