Win Betting
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 at Moonee Valley horse racing track on Saturday, 24th. July, 2010.

Comments:
Punters betting favourites had a profitable meeting with three winners from eight bets. One of these winners, Rue Maple, won at its previous start, the other two were placed. In R1 punters missed out when sending first starter Broadcast out as the favourite. In R7 $3.00 favourite Tinamou successfully jumped in distance from 1800 metres to 2500 metres. However, in R5 Das Machem jumped in distance from 1200 metres to 1514 metres and did not win, while in R8 Viking Turf Belle dropped back in distance from 1200 metres to 1000 metres, always a tough task and only finished sixth. In R6 Tiakinui was unplaced at its previous start and again finished out of a place.

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.
