What does the cryptic crossword clue "Fourteen points for Piquet and reportedly Jaguar with eight? (8)" mean?

The definition is "Fourteen points for Piquet". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). homophone of CAT (jaguar?) + (with) OARS (eight?) I confess to having learned to play Piquet decades ago, so this was a biff. The answer is QUATORZE.

Fourteen points for Piquet and reportedly Jaguar with eight? (8)
