If more than one tote was used to work out the bet a more accurate selection would be the end result.

Dale these are starting price favourites in the bookmakers' betting ring on Saturdays at the 4 main metro tracks.

Short priced tote favourites are usually poor odds and poor bets. At times they are also not the betting ring favourite.

The tote prices of the bookies' betting ring favourite are given so a comparison can be made with the bookmaker odds, which should be superior, particularly in Melbourne and Sydney.

The results have been put on the site for a number of reasons including:

1. Dispelling the media mug myth that small fields are risky betting races.

2. To show that with form analysis combined with getting good bookmaker odds it is possible to make money betting short priced horses in small fields, particularly Sydney and Melbourne metro meetings.
