HrFavorite( ), JrFavorite( ), SrFavorite( )

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The functions return a single character specifying the favorite status of a horse. Horses in a race will be divided into two groups: higher investment group and lower investment group. Horses in the higher investment (lower final odds) group will be assigned codes "1","2","3", and so on, while horses in the lower investment group (higher final odds) will be assigned codes "A", "B", "C", and so on. If the number of horses is an odd number, horses in the higher investment group will be more than that in the lower investment group.

 

Horses of higher investments (lower odds):

Code

Favorite Status

1

Most favorite

2

3

Third favorite

(and so on up to half of total number of horses)

 

Horses of lower investments (higher odds):

Code

A

Least favorite

B

Second least favorite

C

Third least favorite

(and so on up to half of total number of horses)

 

In the example shown in the following view, the HrFavorite( ) function is applied to race 157 of season 02-03. Horses in the view are sorted by final odds.
