It was a sad day for natal racing when the bookmakers were moved under the grandstands and not outside next to track and in front of the grandstands ..definitly adds to the atmosphere when they stood outside ..

And the bookie would thank the punter by saying “Sir” even if the punter was just 18yo. This from my experience :-)

Yes Mac remember the bookies rings silver and gold loads of cash

The big guys would take an even 10 grand then go 11/10 and thank u sir, if it was R10 or R1000
Must have been 30? At the track
