edition There has been quite a lot of discussion in our forum over the years about
favourites in small fields. So we've been monitoring
favourites in small fields here. We're now looking at Saturday races in the three strongest horse racing cities of Melbourne, famous for the Melbourne Cup, Sydney, where the 2YO Golden Slipper Stakes grabs the racing headlines and
Brisbane where the Doomben 10,000 is a famous feature horse race. When a favourite is beaten we will also provide details of the winner. If there are trends they will be identified. For example if a stable has two runners in the small field does the horse at longer odds win more often than it should? Do some jockeys lose more often than they should on the favourites? Do some stables have a poor strike rate on favourites in small fields? And so on. Here are the results for punters betting favourites in small horse race fields on Saturday, 16th. February, 2013. On this day the $500,000 Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes was run at Flemington over 1000 metres. Six years old mare Black Caviar won the race by 2.5 lengths in track record time of 55.42 seconds. That was the undefeated Black Caviar's 23rd. consecutive win! R2 $175,000 Group 2. Mares. Set weights and penalties. Doomben: Track Slow. R1 $50,000 2YO. Open. Handicap. R2 $50,000 Open. Handicap. This edition of Punt to 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. It's very unlikely you'll make a long term profit by consistently backing short priced tote favourites. Copyright ©1998-present. OZmium Pty. Ltd. All rights reserved. |
