I was thinking about the Group 1 races in Melbourne this racing year and how it has been very difficult to find the winners. Below are the winners and their Supertab prices.

Manikato Stakes - Typhoon Zed - $7.50
Underwood Stakes - Weekend Hussler - $1.50
Sir Rupert Calrke Stakes - Orange County - $6.90
Turnbull Stakes - Littorio - $9.50
Yalumba Stakes - Duoro Valley - $35.60
Toorak Handicap - Alamosa - $9.60
Caulfield Guineas - Whobegotyou - $3.10
Thousand Guineas - Gallica - $4.30
Caulfield Cup - All The Good - $47.70
Cox Plate - Maldivian - $10.10
Coolmore Stud Stakes - Northern Meteor - $1.50
McKinnon Stakes - Theseo - $6.40
Victorian Derby - Rebel Raider - $76.80
Myer F&M Classic - Forensics - $3.00
Melbourne Cup - Viewed - $46.50
VRC Oaks - Samantha Miss - $1.90
Patinack Classic - Swick - $12.70
Emirates Stakes - All Silent - $6.20
Lightning Stakes - Scenic Blast - $20.20
Orr Stakes - Maldivian - $8.70
Australia Stakes - Apache Cat - 6.40
Oakleigh Plate - Swiss A.ce - $37.60
Blue Diamond Stakes - Reward For Effort - $21.60
Futurity Stakes - Niconero - $7.90
Newmarket Handicap - Scenic Blast - $12.50
Cadbury Guineas - Heart Of Dreams - $3.80
Australian Cup - Niconero - $14.40

Of the 26 Group 1 races there were 7 that paid >$20 whereas only 2 were odds-on.

There was also some long priced Group 2 winners as well (Guillotine $37.50, Rocha $58.80, Bird Of Fire $18.30 and Pre Eminence $19.20).

Not sure what all this means other than if you can pick the winner there is money to be made!

Any thoughts?
