The Beaten Favourite Horse Racing Betting System

This quick pick horse racing selection method aims to find value odds after a favourite was beaten early in its campaign.

The aim is to be on a horse which had plenty of money for it as a first up or second up favourite and then get better odds. The horse should also be fitter.

It's great fun backing a beaten favourite which wins at good odds knowing you weren't on it when it lost at poorer odds.

Here are the rules.

1. The ho2. rse must have been the betting ring favourite or equal favourite.

2. The horse was either first up or second up from a spell.

3. The horse finished no further than four lengths from the winner unless it suffered interference in the race. (You can find this out from any good form guide or stewards' reports which are available free on the internet.)

4. Back the horse at its next start in its current campaign provided you get at least $5.00 and those odds are more than when the horse was a beaten favourite.

You can bring in plenty of your own additional rules.

We feel sure you will have plenty of fun with this betting system.

Good luck.
