OZmium Sports Betting and Horse Racing Forums - Favourites with Sights Lowered

Rule 1: Bet any horse that is competing for less prize money (for the winner) than on its previous run, provided that it was a favourite or joint-favourite on that previous outing.

Rule 2: Ignore any race in which there is more than one qualifier.

Rule 3: Stake 5pts win on each selection.

The website http://www.cdsystems.uk.com/ comments: "Lower prize money normally indicates a lower graded or lesser quality race. If a horse attracted enough support to warrant favouritism in a better event, then it should have strong claims against lesser opposition.

"This set of circumstances often indicates a retrieval mission, with connections attempting to recoup previous losses. An easier task is often chosen for the horse when this is the case."
