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:
Favourites punters had a successful day, with four winning. In R5 Secret Flyer had a freshen up of 42 days, dropped back from 1200 metres to 1000 metres and won. If it was trying to do the same dropping back from 1400 metres to 1200 metres or 1600 metres to 1400 metres it would have found the task much more difficult. In R8 Swooper was able to win despite finishing eighth at its previous start. Iamzeus could not win in R4 over 1400 metres. There was a break of 35 days between 1400 metres runs while in R7 Hissing Sid found the break of 28 days no help as it went up in distance from 1600 metres to 1800 metres.

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.
