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 Sandown Hillside, Saturday, 13th. June, 2009.

Comments:
There was an amazing training feat in R3 when Mazzacano won the Australian Steeple first up after a break of nearly two years from competitive racing. But as per normal, in R8 it was not surprising to see the favourite miss out when resuming after a spell of 196 days. Horses sent out as favourites after a spell of 100 days or longer have a very poor winning strike rate in Melbourne's main race meeting on Saturdays.

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.
