the other day there was a field of 4 at a Geelong trot meet with a wild hot favourite who lost. Taking the other three, your three dollar bet would have pocketed $18.
I looked at this sort of thing again yesterday and to the best of my feeble abilities noticed there were 13 trots fields of 8 or under and 4 racing fields of 8 and under.

if I had backed everyone but the favourite in each race I would have spent $79 at the trots for a return of $129.90, three losing bets at Harold Park interfering with an otherwise good run. I would have made money on 8 of the races.

at the races I would have bet $23 for a return of $86.60

for the day I would have spent $102 and returned $216.5

has anyone done any serious research into this. I suspect if I had been really fussy over which races to go with the numbers would even be better. I made no attempt to figure out if the favourite had any significant form or not.

see ya
