While your stats over 13 meetings might suggest strange happenings to you, you must consider other factors. The biggest of these would be the price of these favourites. Some meetings run with small fields all day, where you would expect shorter priced favourites and obviously a higher strike rate....

I totally agree with the logic that small fields will produce more winning favourites.However the twenty-six Brisbane meetings all had the usual big Brisbane fields.Twelve out of twenty-six meetings producing an average of less than 9% winning favourites seems odd.

Perhaps it is an anomaly.Certainly in a true scientific study those statistics are not significant.However,they are there staring at us,and as gamblers they give us food for thought.

Most forumites would know that I am getting my information from the AAP site.Just click a meeting and you will find the course stats towards the bottom of the left hand column.
