To be truthful, we have never had much success at Ballarat or Scone. The tracks are too good to horses. In other words every runner gets a good chance and so our speed types just don’t get the chance to skip away on the turn and win at big odds. In fact, more often than not, they get beat. But when we’re talking about favourites, the figures are different. So at Ballarat, 39% of our top two rated runners win when favourite at a level stakes profit, and that’s over all distances but just up to a Slow 5. 68% were placed. At Scone, the figures are similar but 37% which could be an anomaly, as tthere were fewer selections in that sample, but still good enough to indicate that if we stuck to those races then dutching the favourite with the other horse in our Top Two would be a viable option. Our regular top two had just 29% winning races in that same sample. Ballarat wasnt quite as bad at 31% but a loss nevertheless. Enjoy your day today.
