For as long as I can remember, Brisbane has always been a gret place for longshots and poor for favourites compared to Sydney and Melb.

I wonder why that is??

Possible reasons:

# Media coverage of provincial racing is not as good? Therefore, horses with ability sneak into town without much notice?

# Briso punters aren't as well informed? All that XXXX clouds their thinking?

# Some horses can't handle the heat and humidity?

# Difficult to compare Sydney/Melb horses with the locals during the winter carnival? This only explains 2 mths of results though.

# Hard tracks jar a lot of horses?? Some of the favs can't handle it??

# Lack of champions provides a more level playing field????


Any thoughts/ideas?????
