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 Caulfield horse racing meeting held on Saturday, 9th. January, 2010 at the Caulfield horse racing track.

Comments:
A huge winning day for favourites' punters with six winners from the eight races. The bookies left the meeting with no money in their bags. The favourite in R1, Syndrome, won after running ninth at its previous start. But in R8 Tollemache, which was also unplaced at its previous start, did not win. Jockey Mark Zahra combined with trainer Michael Moroney to win on Syndrome. Mark Zahra also had two rides on favourites for trainer Peter Snowden, winning on Zachary in R2 but finishing third on Tollemache in R8.
