Is this the same as the old quinpot?

they used to have it back in the 70's and 80's but it was only available when they raced @ the Vaal with the JP.

correct. Cannot remember of this bet being offered in KZN.

Was a then Transvaal bet, similar to the Cape Quinpot. But methinks the quinpot was 5 legs.

I think bipot was also 5 legs

remember those days I had to bunk last 2 periods of school on Wednesdays to run to off course @ Newmarket to take bets before 1 o clock when they closed Was in Alberton Hoerskool,
could never catch the PA, even today my worst bet to take, but somehow i managed to catch a few Bi post, my strategy was to was to put 2 horses in each leg,, 5 legs, R32, i used to put the fav or 2nd fav and one outside,r.got some nice payouts i remember one i caught paid over R4000 and i had it twice, those days R8000 was a lot of money, you could buy a decent house for R50 000
yeah those were the days, spend 4-5 hours a day studying the Computaform and breeding, spend about an hour a day on school; stuff, still managed to pass matric twice i always tell my kids I have Honours degree in matric.

The quinpot was available in cape town, and was only 5 legs.

Clairwood once had a bet called "The Dual" it was an on course only bet and run in the J/Pot legs with the 1st and 2nd horses qualifying, my late Mom caught the only ticket once and collected around R400 which was a HUGE win considering she bankered Beau Art who was at that early stage of his career trained by Jackie Gorton and ridden by Johnny Barker...

Did your mom ever go any of the road trips in the "cad"??? LOL

I am pretty sure the bipot consisted of 6 legs. Was only offered at the Vaal and there was no p/a at the Vaal back then. In those days the Vaal was known as an "outsiders" course because of the many upsets. Jean Barnard ( Hemming ) ruled the roost in her day. The bipot was much harder to catch than the p/a but the dividends were great.
