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.
There was no Saturday Melbourne metropolitan horse racing meeting on the 26th. September as that clashes with the AFL Australian Rules Football Grand Final.
So here are the results from Caulfield, Saturday, 19th. September, 2009 when the Group 1 Weight for Age Underwood Stakes and the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes were run.

Comments:
Punters got off to a good start backing three winning favourites in the first four races. Two of the winning favourites had won their previous race, the third winning favourite finished second at its last start. Of the three favourites two raced 14 days earlier, the third, 17 days earlier.
In R3 Huxssen which was unplaced at its previous start was unplaced again. While in R8 Absolut Glam, resuming as favourite after a spell of 91 days, finished well down the track.

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.
