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 Futurity Stakes Day horse racing meeting held at Caulfield on Saturday, 27th. February, 2010.

Comments:
Punters backing favourites had a good winning day, with six favourites winning from the nine races. Three of the winning favourites won their previous race in their current campaign while another two were placed. Only in R4 did the favourite, Crystal Lily win after missing a place at its previous run in its campaign. In R2 punters sent out Returntosender as the favourite after a long spell of 273 days. While close, they did not collect. No trainer or jockey was involved with two or more winning favourites.
