EDITORS COMMENTS
Counting The Winnings" captures an intriguing moment at Sedgefield Racecourse in County Durham, England, during the year 1976. The photograph, taken by Robin Dale, depicts a group of individuals intently focused on the task at hand, as they meticulously count and record the winnings from a day at the races. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling racecourse, with horses and their jockeys making their way to the starting gate in the distance. The air is thick with excitement and anticipation, as the outcome of each race hangs in the balance. Among the group, a tall, focused man in a suit, with a calculator in hand, seems to be taking charge of the counting process. His expression is serious, as he double-checks each figure against the betting slips spread out before him. To his left, a younger man, dressed in casual attire, leans in closely, seemingly eager to learn the ropes. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and shared enthusiasm for the sport of horseracing. The scene is reminiscent of the vibrant racing culture that thrived in the northeast of England during the 1970s. The men, some of whom appear to be seasoned bettors or "touts," are united in their pursuit of the thrill and potential winnings that come with a day at the races. As the sun begins to set on the racecourse, the group continues to work, their determination unwavering. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of horseracing and the unique community that surrounds it. With its rich history and tradition, Sedgefield Racecourse remains a cherished destination for racing enthusiasts in the north of England and beyond. Robin Dale's photograph, "Counting The Winnings," offers a captivating glimpse into the world of horseracing in the northeast of England during the 1970s. It is a poignant reminder of the excitement, camaraderie, and shared passion that defines this beloved sport.
