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 Sandown horse racing meeting held on Saturday, 21st. November, 2009 at the Sandown Hillside horse racing track.

In R3 North East Smile won despite jumping up in distance from 1300 metres to 1600 metres, being unplaced at its last start, and having 24 days between races. However in R6 Rose Syrah jumped up in distance from 1500 metres to 1800 metres and did not win. In R7 the equal favourite Viking Turf Belle dropped back in distance from 1500 metres to 1300 metres and was unplaced. In R8 Iamzeus was first up after a spell of 203 days and did not win.

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.
