I would prefer 4 places as the dividends would be fairly low on fancied runners. I would probably look for an outsider to run in the first 6.

Will this not effect the payouts big time?

I think its a great idea,it would give the annual punters a winning feeling and hopefully make them come back for more. I certainly got bit by the july bug and my first bet was on shah star and I've been playing ever since

I just hope we don't have anything paying R1.00 a place on the july....that could have the opposite effect!

rubbish idea - regular punters being screwed in a crazy attempt to fool "potential addicts" Should rather have a superfecta (remember that bet?) on the big race-

It would be pointless having 6 places on the fixed price market......About 5% of odds??

Funny Mr H,when I saw this nonsense,I also thought of the superfecta .......reintroduce for big features......they should still have the software.
