Stats: Where Favourites Win (And Where They Don't)

EVER wondered where the highest percentage of favourites salute and also where they don't?

The statistics below (from January, 2022 to present) outline at which track and distances favourite runners win the highest number of races on average while also signalling where they don't.

Not surprisingly, distance events sit atop of the numbers, due in part to the smaller sample sizes and more often than not reduced fields.

Also provided is what the profit on turnover would look like when backing the favourites at particular track and distances over a consistent basis.
