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 on Saturday, 21st. August, 2010 at the Moonee Valley horse racing track.

Comments:
Punters betting favourites had a solid losing day with just one $3.90 starting price winner from the nine favourites. In R6 and R7 the favourites, Morgan Dollar and Tio Rossa, resumed after spells of 112 days and 176 days. Neither won. Four of the losing favourites were last start winners, so it was not the best of days for punters who back favourites provided they won their last race in their current campaign.

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.
