EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up to Alf Prince's bookmaking stand at the historic Epsom Racecourse in Surrey, England, during the August Bank Holiday meeting in 1937. Alf, with his calculator in hand and a determined expression on his face, expertly manages the influx of bets from eager racegoers. The thrill of the races is palpable in the air as the crowd gathers around, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding on the track. Bookmaking, an integral part of British horseracing culture, has been a time-honored tradition at Epsom Racecourse since its inception in 1711. Alf, a seasoned bookmaker, skillfully assesses the odds and calculates potential winnings for each race, providing a sense of excitement and anticipation for the punters. The turf beneath Alf's feet, the sound of hooves pounding the track, and the cacophony of voices placing their bets create an electric atmosphere that is synonymous with the sport of horse racing. With the finish line in sight, Alf remains focused and attentive, ensuring that each bet is recorded accurately and that the winnings are paid out promptly. The black-and-white photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to a bygone era when the thrill of the races was a shared experience for all. Alf Prince's bookmaking stand at Epsom Racecourse in 1937 stands as a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing and the role of the bookmaker in the sport's rich history.
