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 Flemington, Saturday, 7th. March, 2009.

Comments:
Last Saturday three favourites that were unplaced at their previous start in their current campaign all failed to win. This week punters collected the short odds on Rostova, which was a well beaten fifth at its previous start. In R4 and R8 the two short priced Gai Waterhouse trained favourites both failed to win. In R9 punters who took the short odds on Whobegotyou winning first up over 1400 metres after a spell of 126 days also left the money in the bookies' bags.

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.
