The guess how many runners take part in the Champon Chase poll thread (with odds)

[Marb]

Marble's odds-guide below.

This is to see if forum members can collectively guess the actual number of runners. Only the final lot that come under starters-orders count. Final declarations will not be used to determine the winning amount.

Poll closes 1st March (Admin, please change closing date to 1st March).


1 runner 12/1
2 runners 13/2
3 runners 11/2
4 runners 7/2
5 runners 9/4
6 runners 11/4
7 runners or more 14/1

Get voting

Good voter turnout. Voting suggests the value in the book is with 7 or more. Keep voting.

[JamesRB]

if only that 14/1 was real....sheesh

[Marb]

Yeah I'd have shortened it up that's what I'd have done.

[Outsider]

Just to be different I will go for 6

[Desert Orchid]

I reckon the 14/1 would be near enough a mortgage job. I reckon people might be voting for it from a value angle rather than as a true reflection of what they think.

But you'd also have to think that with no Douvain and maybe even no Altior a few people will want to chuck some Grade 2 horses at the race just in case.

[Tanlic]

When you think about it if Sprinter (7 ran) couldn't chase away challengers then surely if Altior goes there without a prep anything and everything will want to have a go.

I voted for 5 because I can't think of any more names that will run but as you say DO plente grade 2 out there and across the water will want to give it a go

any advance on 11 runners?
