Hi,
Some years back I operated a system betting the top favourites on the day for a place.
It worked quite well for a while, although a lot of them were coming in at $1-10, $1-20.

Thinking back, I remember most of the time they didn't even win and unfortunately on occasions didn't even get a place.

I was only betting on probably a max of 5 per Saturday.

Has anybody got any data on these types of races and how the second favourites performed?

Just wondering if that could be a better selection or an additional selection for this system.
