Win Betting
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 horse racing meeting held on Saturday, 5th. June, 2010 at the Flemington horse racing track.

Comments:
Punters betting favourites had a winning meeting with three winners from the eight favourites. The winners, Doubtful Jack in R2 and Sunday Rose in R3 both finished second in their previous starts, which were 14 days and seven days earlier. However in R5 punters succcessfully backed a winning favourite resuming from a long spell, as Elusive Touch was first up after a long spell of 141 days. Oak Heart in R4 finished ninth at its previous start and was again unplaced, while in R6 Lord Pyrus was unplaced after jumping up in distance from 1300 metres to 1600 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.
