Might be nit-picking a little here because odds on fave's do win in small fields, of course they do, but it's marvellous how often they get rolled too. Odds on fave's for the average punter can be a case of darned if you do and darned if you don't.
Here's four recently off the top of the top of the head and their tote price's that became the bank teller's nightmare result.
Galaxy Star field of six $1.30 - rolled.
Gatting field of seven $1.20 - rolled.
Battle Storm field of five $1.30 - rolled.
Mystery Miss field of five $1-10 - rolled.
Sometimes it's not as simple as it looks. The spider web awaits. Overall corporate's eat the shorty straight out backers for breakfast - a lot on to pay out little.

Mystery Miss paid $1 money back for a place - the you can't win - but you can lose bet - will leave that for another day.
Cmon Tabcorp you make squillions - offer a little more than handing the punter his money back when he/she has "won" on the race.
Just on the odds on pops - there is one common denominator in three of the results - Pikey and small fields when looks to be on the "logical" winner - instead of being around $1.70 to $1.80 there probably going at $1.50 and a lot less!
Can't blame that on the Gatting v CPWM differential though.
But whatever the odds it's in the eye of the beholder - some see the $1.2 or $1.40 and think that's a good price - some see it as $1.20 and think that just means it's going to win - I'll back it too.
Been pretty good results overall for the punter at Belmont Park - but long odds on can be a trap.
