"He's a very nice horse. He was a Godolphin castoff bought at the sales at the start of the year. We took a chance as he's got a great staying pedigree. He's been a work in progress and a bit lazy at home, but he's progressing well. He ran a great race to finish third in the Glasgow Stakes and was given a mark of 101. Last time he was beaten at long odds-on but he might have bumped into one because the winner looks a very good horse. I've still got faith in our horse. He could be very good. 10-09-25"
How do odds work?The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
