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 on Saturday, 17th. July, 2010 at the Caulfield horse racing track.

Comments:
Punters betting favourites had a winning meeting with four winners including favourites winning the first three races. There was a fantastic training feat with Peter G. Moody and Luke Nolen teaming up in R6 to win on Reward For Effort which was resuming after a 469 day's injury enforced spell. In R1 Only He Knows won after finishing fourth a week earlier, however in R4 Dr Nipandtuck which was also unplaced at its previous start did not win. In R7 Philda did not win after dropping back in distance from 1500 metres to 1400 metres.

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.
