Plunge Horses
Money Talks?

Each week we will feature tables showing just how successful the "smart money" was. To qualify a horse must have firmed 5% in the betting market. For example if a horse was backed in from $5.00 (4/1 or 20%) to $4.00 ( 3/1 or 25%) it will qualify. Odds calculator gives you tables.

The jockeys and trainers are also important. You may see some jockeys and trainers consistently bringing home plunges whereas others regularly fail to deliver.

Like last week, only one horse in Melbourne firmed the necessary 5% in the bookies' betting ring to qualify as a meaningful plunge for us. It also brought home the money just like last week at Flemington. However followers of plunge horses certainly needed the winner as there was a wipeout in Sydney.

Warning
Short Priced Tote Favourites

These are losing bets.

It is just about impossible to get a high enough strike rate backing short priced tote favourites to make up for the big unders on the tote.
If you regularly get poor tote odds you must lose.
