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 $500,000 Group 1 Lightning Stakes Day horse racing horse racing meeting held on Saturday, 30th. January, 2010 at the Flemington horse racing track.

Comments:
Punters got off to a poor start with the trainer/jockey combination of Peter G. Moody and Luke Nolen having beaten favourites in the first three races. In R4 equal favourite True Tales, which was unplaced at its previous start, did not win while the other equal favourite Sadalbari dropped back from 2000 metres to 1600 metres, always a tough task, plus had 29 days between races. It was also unplaced. In R6 the short priced favourite, Starspangledbanner, resumed after a spell of 112 days. It too was unplaced.

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.
