Why do more favourites get up in the WET
Why do more favourites get up in the wet? A casual observation yes, but it seems to ring true nevertheless. The unpredictable appears to be somewhat more predictable!
Anyone got stats on this? Cheers LG

Without knowing stats i would say because fewer horses can handle wet conditions it is easier to find those that can, in dry conditions horses have a more even chance of winning.

Shaun, I've heard that theory, but I also heard that some of the top punters won't bet on rain-affected tracks because of the unpredictability.

I didn't know they did.

Not the case at all. Quite the opposite. Last 1000 days results show:
Fast - 30.9% (small sample 643 races) Good - 32.6% (32,000 races) Soft - 31.6% (9,000 races) Heavy - 30.9% (3,600 races)

It could be that rain affected tracks see smaller fields which would just naturally see a higher % of favourites
interesting to see the stats on fields of say 12-14 on good tracks versus 12 to 14 starters in wet tracks |

Bit OT from favs.
I have a different slant on things re. wet tracks, when I still dabbled in gallops I found that my ratings worked better or more true on wet tracks that is slow to heavy. I think it had to do with what someone alluded to, the ability of the horse to handle the conditions . Avoided "dead" tracks if I could. Have no idea what the new track-condition classifications mean. |

Just returned from checking on the tenant farmers, my lord?
