anyone know statistics on australian racing favs? Or where to look? It seems favs come in a lot more frequently so was intrigued on the stats...

A good/strong FAV in Australia is usually a stronger bet than a perceived similar FAV elsewhere.
Bear in mind though - the type of race.
Practically all Australian cards - especially Monday to Friday racing - start with around 3 or 4 Maiden races ... and that is where you can get strong FAVS, as the difference in ability between the (often bigger, more professional, Stables/Trainers saddling a FAV, against the rest of the field, especially the outsiders, seems greater
Horses coming back from a break ("Spell" in their lingo) will have more often than not have run in a TRIAL, or trials, recently, too - with that info/Results shown in the Form part of sites - with Unraced 2-yr-olds often having Trial Form, too... making the Market much more reflective, and accurate, than in UK
Later on in the cards/meetings come the Handicaps - where the above can again apply - and double-figure price winners are mostly fewer than elsewhere.
Hard work trying to be a Short-Price FAV - or even shorter price second and third favs Layer in Australia.
Having said that - You need to be a FAV or Shorter prices type Punter - as opposed to being the UK style 'value seeker' Punter to be a Backer in Australia.

thanks onlooker will keep that in mind. Are there any websites that have aus racing statistics?
I would not know - horses2010
I do not deal in, and neither believe in, "Stats" - because they are practically all Nonsense.
Every race is DIFFERENT - Every Horse is an individual

75% of races are won by the top 4 in the market in Australia lay them at your own risk
