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, 12th. December, 2009 at the Flemington horse racing track.

Comments:
Punters backing the favourites had a profitable day, with three winners at the good starting price odds of $4.20, $3.80 and $3.50. In R3 Gibraltar Moon dropped back in distance from 1200 metres to 1000 metres after a freshen up of 37 days and was well supported in the bookmakers' betting ring but finished third. In R5 and R7 the favourites both won after being unplaced at their previous starts, however their pre3vious starts were not disasters as they were both in the money in their previous starts as they both finished fourth.

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.
