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 the horse racing meeting held on Saturday, 31st. July, 2010 at the Caulfield horse racing track.

Comments:
Punters betting favourites started the day with the first two winners and that's where it ended. These two winners were successful after spells of 126 days and 91 days. In R3 Music In The Park was unplaced after a spell of 73 days, while in R6, the Group 3 Weight for Age Bletchingly Stakes, Velocitea finished third after a spell of 90 days. In R4 and R8 punters sent out as favourites two horses, Lordoftheparrots and Maxisun, that failed to run a place at their previous starts. They were both unplaced again.
