who you bet with,towards the parade ring you will find gus oppenhein who likes to prey on first time racegoers,he does not display his place terms {rules are you are meant to but nobody enforces it }your ticket will show you the correct place terms but when you go to collect you will be paid at reduced terms,when you pull him over it he blames the clerk,of course many once a year punters dont know the difference so he gets away with it most of the time.
there will off course be many decent hardworking bookmakers there who will not **.
