Dear Mark and Mr Magic

I kinda think you both could be right.

Here are only my thoughts and reason for saying this.

In any race the favourite demands alot of attention it would be quite logical to look for races that favourites are more than beatable. Pot the favourite or back the favourite. As long as you take a consistent approach.

I've got a good mate who is a genius at potting favourites. He is always saying things like "False favourites are always being created by media hype." or "Trainers are good at telling you how there horse is going but few do the form on the whole field." I had to laugh on Friday I heard an interview with Gay Waterhouse on radio. I can't recall the race but she had two horses running in one race. She had me convinced it was going to be a dead heat and that both would win.

Good Luck and Good Punting

Michael
