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, 17th. October, 2009 when the Group 1 Caulfield Cup was run over 2,400 metres.

Comments:
The favourites in R1, R2, R3, R6 and R7 were all unplaced at their previous start. Only in R7 did Baughurst, $4.00, win. In R5 Sniper's Bullet jumped in distance from 1100 metres to 1400 metres and did not win.
There were two winners from the other four favourites. They were Shamoline Warrior, $3.50, in R4 which was coming off a win 14 days earlier and First Command, $2.50, in R9 which was coming off a second 14 days earlier.

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.
