I've searched around to see if any bookies are offering odds on the pay-off amount. None are, presumably because we'll never get the actual result.
I'm interested to see what distance Fox Norton tackles this season. He's mostly raced over 2 miles, but he's entered in the King George over 3 miles on Boxing Day, if he gets the trip he could end up going down the Gold Cup route.
