Barrier Betting Myth
Bet For Value

How often are you told that a horse can't win because of the barrier?

It's a myth. But it's not just media tipsters that fall for it. Trainers will scratch horses that draw wide barriers. John and Wayne Hawkes in media interviews also regularly give their horses from wide barriers little chance of winning.

Have a look at some of the winning barriers from the six flat races at Moonee Valley last Saturday :

Barrier 10 of 13
Barrier 11 of 12
Barrier 13 of 14
Barrier 8 of 12

A good tip is to do your form ignoring barriers. If you like a horse don't dismiss it because of the wide barrier. Because so many punters do dismiss horses because of the wide barrier draw you are more likely to get over the odds than backing a horse with the same form from one of the inside barriers.

You Need Top Odds

It is just about impossible to get a high enough strike rate backing short priced tote favourites and the poor value tote horses to make up for the big unders on the tote.

If you regularly get poor odds you must lose.

Short priced tote favourites
are losing bets.
