It did work. But when it loses , it can lose big.

The bookies odds didn't help the day Mahogany (slowest run race ever), Schillaci (missed the start), and Naturalism (a peice of paper floated across the course and spooked it) all lost on the same Cox Plate day day. All short odds. I will always remember that numb feeling I had in my legs and feet as I walked backto the carpark. Grown men aren't supposed to cry, I kept telling myself. LOL
