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 Flemington, Saturday, 5th. September, 2009 when the $400,000 Makybe Diva Stakes was run.

Comments:
A good day for punters with five favourites winning from the nine races. Four of the winning favourites won their previous race which was no longer than 21 days earlier. What's that they say about winners keep winning and fit horses?
By contrast, in R3 and R4 the favourites, Light Vision and Trustus both were unplaced at their previous start. They both ran second this time.
Two favourites resumed after a spell of more than 100 days. In R1 Avenue resumed after a spell of 197 days and finished second, but in R9 the Lee Freedman trained Speed Gifted resumed after a spell of 119 days and won over 1700 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.
