THE Placepot is a bet where you select a horse to be placed in the FIRST SIX races of any meeting.
You can pick more than one horse in a race – you just multiply the number of selections in each race to calculate your stake.

Distant Storm is favourite for the Dewhurst but Templegate is looking elsewhere with his Placepot selections[/caption]
So for staking it’s 2x2x2x2x2x2 which adds up to 64 lines in the Placepot.
You can stake what you want upwards from 5p a line which would cost a total of £3.20. 10p a line is £6.40 and so on.
Provided at least one of our horses in each race is placed, we get a payout!
The big Tote Placepot is at Newmarket on Saturday, where the Group 1 Dewhurst for two-year-olds takes centre stage.
After that comes the Cesarewitch, a cavalry charge over 2m2f of the famous track which could see a few promising Placepot punts go down the pan.
Although hopefully not for us!
