Zico10 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Is it my imagination or are a higher percentage of favourites winning recently? I'm sure someone keeps the stats! It seems to me (cursory glance) that about 40% is the norm at the moment when statistically I thought it was normally about 33%.

Valiant Thor Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 It sometimes looks that way as results tend to come in clusters and over a small sample can look that way. As the sample size increases you will find results tend to revert back around the mean. 19 year Fav win rate by month 156,898 races in total gbettle and Baracca 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico10 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Thanks for the reply. Yeah they were the stats I was thinking of. Do you know if breakdowns exist year on year? Out of curiosity do you know how regular a 50% plus favourite winning months ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Thor Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 As Ive already stated a large SR is more likely due to a small sample size rather than the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
