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.

Comments:
It was one of the worst days in many months for favourites punters with not one favourite winning. In R1, R2 and R5 the favourites, Flokkati, Broken and Gibraltar Moon were resuming from spells respectively of 125 days, 140 days and 98 days. Not one of these three favourites even managed to run a place. In R7 punters sent out Nicastro as the $4.00 favourite even though it finished fifth in a small field of seven three weeks earlier. On Saturday Nicastro finished ninth of 11. In R8 punters solidly backed the favourite Avionics from $3.60 into $3.10, obviously trying to "get out" and assuming that "one favourite must win today." They were wrong. Avionics finished last!

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.
