Win Betting
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 at Sandown Lakeside horse racing track on Saturday, 19th. June, 2010.

Comments:
Favourites punters had a winning day with four winners from the nine favourites. Three of the winning favourites were last start winners, while in R4 winning equal favourite Oak Heart finished fourth at its last start. One other favourite, Arch Symbol in R6, also finished fourth at its previous start. On Saturday Arch Symbol finished fifth. In R3 Mazzacano was the favourite in The Australian Steeplechase following finishing well down the track over the flat two weeks earlier. Mazzacano ran a poor race and was pulled up. Contrast to Black And Bent, the favourite in The Australian Hurdle after winning over the flat two weeks earlier. Black And Bent won again.

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.
