I recall visiting dog tracks many years ago when, at some point during the evening, a uniformed guy wearing a peaked cap with Customs and Excise written on it would appear with a clip board in hand and he would conduct some business with each of the bookies. I always thought he was placing bets. Has anyone any idea what he was about please?
Thanks
Seriously though it could have been the Ring Manager or Racing Manager at the track or the SP/show reporter (particularly if it was in the old days – 20 or so years ago).
