Partypooper,
I don't doubt the longterm figures, but there has been much talk about the last few months results of favourites. They have had a phenomenal run, even on the flat races. Over the last month alone close to 60% of them have won from my figures. Some days have had strike rates in the 75% range.
Much discussion as to why this is.
Some people are talking about the flat racing, but in fact the hurdle races have had an even higher strike rate
One day last week, eight favourites in a row saluted at all sorts of odds, even 6/1 favourites in big fields.
I copped a thrashing laying them.
Needless to say, I've been backing them and asking for top odds, and now starting to get it all back.
I'm sure things will return to normal variances, but it's been a phenomenal trend.
