Bipot

5.17.1. PURPOSE: The purpose of the BiPot is to select a horse placed first or second in each of the 6 legs or races constituting the BiPot as designated in the official race card

.....How are these clowns going to work a Bi-pot and P6 together into local meetings.....the two bets cannot exist together.....unless Bi -pot is for international racing fields......

.....The Bi-pot existed for Vaal meetings as there was no competing exotics for those meetings.....no PA and P6 was not even conceived then but maybe a JP the memory is a bit fuzzy.....a group of us played often but caught it only one time.....plenty sceaming in the day when senior jocks in thin fields would allow claiming appies to steal races......:

sounds a bit of a gay bet to me ()

Hehehehe....

The Quinpot in the Cape was actually one of my favourite bets.It was over 5 legs and ran from what is now the 1st leg of the Pick 6 to the last leg of the Jackpot.The 1st 2 horses qualify and I was successful many times especially when one dropped out of the jackpot in a close finish, the Quinny would come to the rescue

Look forward to playing it again by whatever name its called...

I was gay only when I caught one. Was not gay very often

Don't know about other Tracks but there was a Bi-Pot at the Vaal only and consisted of 6 legs. First 2 past the post, no couplings and pay outs were good at times, no PA and only Bi-Pot & JP.

The Bi-Pot was not that easy to catch because as mentioned the Vaal was for the more inconsistant Horses.

The Bi-pot was over 6 legs. I lost one in the early eighties when Huriba - Huriba broke a leg. It was way ahead when this happened in the straight. The bi-pot paid R179 000. Good money for those years!!

Huriba Huriba actually broke it's leg at Germiston with 150 to go James maree up.I backed the winner Val caine trained by Brian de Villiers was the worst winner I ever backed
