How, after winning 14 consecutive races, can the odds be 33 to 1?

33 to 1 odds, means it is extremely unlikely the horse will win.

With just 3 other horses in the race the odds for Black Caviar should've been something more like 1 to 1, unless the other horses were all Kentucky Derby winners or somesuch.

I don't understand this.
