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.

Comments:
Two of the three winning favourites won their previous race which was held no longer then two weeks earlier. However, in R5 Lucky Secret won after being unplaced at its previous start. In R3 Snip Esprit dropped back in distance from 1300 metres to 1200 metres and was unplaced at its previous start. It ran last. Sound Of Nature in R8 dropped back in distance from 1800 metres to 1500 metres after 11 days and was well beaten. In R2 the favourite, Stirling Grove, had six weeks between 1000 metres runs and was well beaten.

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.
