Seven furlongs is neither a sprint nor a mile – it’s one of those ‘in-between’ distances and not all courses have races of this length. It is a specialised trip, one that you’d think would favour the SP favourite. However, this just isn’t true. What I found during seven years of analysis, was that a lot of horses were either up or down in trip, and it is this that probably gives us the profitable edge.

The system is simple:

Lay the outright favourite in all races run over anything that is described as 7 furlongs (even 7f and 110 yards) that is described in the Racing Post as a Handicap. The price range is Evens to 9/2.

It is as simple as that. Here are the figures: More on Laying Favourites – 7 furlongs!
