"Most people who go to a race meeting are interested in the horses, gambling and the excitement of the racing but I find I am watching the many different characters who are in the crowds and the things they do. I hope in this book I have managed to show some of the many characters, going about their daily lives and jobs, which may seem ordinary and mundane to them but to me they are the life and breath of the race meeting."--Leaf [4]. - Subject Terms:
