It tends to change day to day.
I have seen days where their SR is only 13% & other days 45%
This can make it very frustrating for a punter who chasses them.

Totally agree, although I've seen blocks of time where favourites win almost everything for a month or more.
Happened in the UK last year, and happened here last July/August at metro tracks.
I know, I was laying them 
At one point in the UK, they had a 60% and then an 80% strike rate during a whole month. Only now has it returned to normal, still waiting for the nice run of outs which will even it out to 30%.
For the record, this included flat races. |
