There have been 22 races where the favourite started at less than $2.00 in a field of 15 or greater.
10 from 22 won
14 from 22 placed
Win loss 4.2 units
Place loss 4.5 units
My rule: "The shorter the price, the bigger the field, the better chance a horse has, so look at obtaining the best price you can"
Big fields usually mean longer prices, where the price of the fave is shorter than normal, bells ring to get on but get a good price elsewhere than the TAB.
These horses have an amazing strike rate, and you would think they would find trouble with other runners etc.
