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.

Comments:
W. S. Cox Plate Day, 2009, was a day to forget for many bookies with six favourites winning from the nine races, including the first four races of the day. Punters who level staked each favourite at starting price with just $10 bets made a profit of $150.50! Three of the winning favourites had won their previous race which was held no more than 14 days before this week's races. Two other winning favourites finished second at their previous race held no more than 21 days before this week's races. In R5 the favourite, Extra Zero, ran fifth. It was unplaced at its previous start.

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.
