A word of warning. Don't lay them if they lead.
I never lay favs in running but I do back them - much safer. I have a mate who backs favs who miss the start or get back especially if the stats indicate that the on pace runners are not favoured at the course/ distance.
One trick that works quite often is to lay a fav pre race that you know gets back and back it at a (usually) better price when they do. You can let it ride or green up. |
