Jibberish,
You've got things around the wrong way, professional punters chase the short priced favourites. The way they see it, the shorter the price the better the horse's chance, at least according to the market framers. Big punters wait till they find a horse that's been placed to advantage in a race that it should not lose, and then bet accordingly.
To the professional punter, $10,000 on an even money chance is safer than $1000 0n a 10/1 chance to win the same amount.
John,
40 years of punting and you don't have an opinion on the best horse you've seen, do you have an opinion on anything ?
