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:
Two of the four winning favourites won their previous starts which were two weeks earlier. One winning favourite ran second two weeks earlier, while in R2 Cats Whisker ran fourth, beaten 1.6 lengths seven days earlier. In R3 Take The Rap, which ran fourth at its previous start, unsuccessfully tried to jump in distance from 1200 metres to 1600 metres. Similarly in R6 Hissing Sid unsuccessfully tried to jump in distance from 2350 metres to 3200 metres. In R7 Costa In The Glen had a break of 24 days between 1400 metres runs. Too long a break? Dwayne Dunn won on $2.50 favourite Wallinger in R1 but had losing rides on favourites in R3 and R7.

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.
