There are some great UK Flat statistics available on favourites which cover many criteria. Just wondering how similar our Aussie races would be to their flat season?? Based on UK results it would seem the most reliable favs are Maidens, 2YO, stakes, and small fields (10 or less).
I found this link particularly interesting http://www.flatstats.co.uk/art**********************vourites_1.html
Any thoughts?

Hello Shy,
Some time ago I did an in depth study of U.K. racing results and formlines.
Suffice to say that most data does not translate well to Australia whatsoever.
Be very careful when adopting U.K. strategies to Australia and vice versa.
I still haven't quite worked out why this is - but I left it alone and dumped it in the too hard basket.
I figured I would concentrate on one country only.
Perhaps the closest racing would be that of Hong Kong.
U.S. racing is pretty much different given their sand and dirt tracks too.
The only common factor was that still only around 30% of favourites win - no matter where you are in the world.
