录音原文

In the world of horse racing, the goal of every gambler is to gain a lot of money by betting on the right horse to win. Sometimes a horse is known as a past winner, and that makes it seem like the right horse to bet money on. At other times, a horse that has not done so well in the past will suddenly run well and beat all the others. In the end, only the results at the finish line determine if you have bet on the right horse or the wrong horse.

From this origin, we have adopted this idiom into everyday use. If someone has trusted or supported a person or group that later does badly, or who betrays that trust, we say that they "bet on the wrong horse." This idiom indicates that a person has exercised poor judgment, and as a result, has suffered some loss.
