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 Caulfield, Saturday, 15th. August, 2009.

Comments:
There was one favourite which had its previous start no longer than seven days earlier. That was in Pacino in R1 which started at $3.00 and won.
In R4 Rostova resumed after a spell of 119 days and was unplaced starting at the odds of $3.20; in R5 Von Costa De Hero resumed after a spell of 147 days and was also unplaced while in R6 Typhoon Tracy also resumed after a spell of 147 days and was also unplaced. However punters backing favourites resuming from spells of 100 days and longer were saved in R8 when equal favourite Miss Maren won.

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.
