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 horse racing meeting held on Saturday, 24th. April, 2010 at the Sandown Hillside horse racing track.

Comments:
Punters betting favourites had a losing meeting with only two winners in R1 and R5. Vivid Vixen in R1 was a last start winner two weeks earlier. However, Eight Bills in R5 was resuming from a spell of 78 days. In R6 punters sent out Currency Cugat as the $4.40 favourite, solidly backed from $5.50. Currency Cugat was jumping in distance from 1500 metres to 1800 metres after finishing seventh at its previous start, 10 days earlier. Currency Cugat was again unplaced.
