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 $1,000,000 Group 1 Newmarket Handicap Day at Flemington horse racing track held on Saturday, 6th. March, 2010. A heavy storm after R6 led to the postponement of the rest of the meeting. It was decided that the $1,000,000 Group 1 Australian Cup and $750,000 3YO Group 1 Australia Guineas would be held at Flemington the following Saturday.

Comments:
It was losing meeting for favourites punters with only an odds on winner in the first race of the day. In R2 Rarefied resumed as favourite after a long spell of 182 days and did not win. While in the main race held on the day, All Silent, resuming from a spell of 83 days, was sent out as the favourite and finished well down the track. In R3 Willow Creek was unplaced at its previous start. Even though it was a close fourth in the 2YO Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes, Willow Creek could not improve enough to win. as the $2.70 favourite this week. The jockey and trainer combination of Kerrin McEvoy and Peter Snowden saddled up two losing favourites - Rarefied $3.40 in R2 and Trim $4.00 in R5.

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.
