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 C. F. Orr Stakes Day horse racing meeting held at Caulfield on Saturday, 6th. February, 2010.

Comments:
Punters backing favourites were saved from a very tough day when Velocitea won R8 starting at $5.00. It was first up after a spell of 112 days. As we've seen, horses resuming as favourites after more than 100 days do not have a great record of success. In R3 and R7 the two favourites sent out at long odds on, Denman and Typhoon Tracy, both won. Typhoon Tracy was first up after 98 days. However in R5 Secession resumed after 84 days and was unplaced. In R4 Sweet Cheeks finished sixth at its previous start. It was again unplaced. In the final race of the meeting, La Rocket, which finished a well beaten third in a field of just five at its previous start finished third again, but this time by only a half length.

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.
