The Perth data that actually repeats
Before you back anything at Perth, three numbers matter — and they come from 1,102 Perth races in our settled-results database, not a pundit's hunch.
How often the favourite wins at Perth
The SP favourite has won 39.0% of races at Perth across 1,102 races. That is above the ~33% market-wide average — Perth rewards the form horse more than most tracks, but it still loses two races in three. Blind favourite-backing is not a plan at Perth.
It's not just about winning: the Perth favourite is placed 68.9% of the time (finishing in the official frame), which matters if you back each-way.
The ground shifts the picture too — on soft or heavy going the Perth favourite wins 40.3% (447 races), versus 38.2% on good or firmer (655 races). Check the going before you trust the market.
