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 horse racing favourites' results from the meeting held at Caulfield horse racing track on Saturday, 4th. April, 2009.

Comments:
In R6 equal favourite Nine Tales ran over 1200 metres after a break of 35 days and failed to win. Lack of race fitness? What was very unusual this week was that the three winning favourites all failed to run a place at their previous starts, with the winners of R7 and R8 finishing 13th. of 14 and 8th. of 10 respectively. Maybe punters can consider themselves fortunate collecting the money as we have seen over the weeks that favourites running down the track at their previous start have proved to be poor bets.

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.
