Chief I was never against favourites, I was simply stating that in a race with an odds on favourite, especially a Group 1 race, there may be better value as favourites do get rolled.

My advice to hermes was based on a high strike rate system with a profitable outcome which I have researched. I myself use three systems at once so as to insure against long losing sequences.

Some favourites are good value, some are poor when you rate the opposition.
