An old betting adage, “odds on look on”, yet so often the temptation becomes too great, like taking candy from a baby.

Those that took the odds on about Chivalry at Flemington were burnt, and the same thing happened at Bendigo today when the odds on, Belle Couture, was beaten.

Betting odds on when a horse has no form at all is the recipe for disaster, horses might work well on the training track but when they race is another matter.

Belle Couture will no doubt win races, however, where and when is another matter, surely it is time to put aside the relationship concerning Black Caviar, both horses are light years apart.
