gru, don't get your thought process. If i'm at the races and I fancy the favourite to win then I'll back it and not second guess say a 16/1 outsider. As for the 'any fool can pick odds on favourites' well it worked twice for me today and by the way, favourites don't always win a race, check out all todays winners and tell me if ALL the favourites won their race. My third choice wasn't even the favourite.
Let's not split hairs pal and keep it simple. If you fancy a favourite then back it but don't expect them to win all the time
