When I started work as a wee lad in the 60s.there was one language spoken by workers and management......horseracing tips....senior guys would have the form guide folded into a special shape,and disappear into the toilets just before races ,or if making picks often spend an afternoon there....If you couldnt talk racing with some authority,you were nothing......There was one guy on the floor never worked,he took SP bets for the "mob"....and simply disappeared one time....Norman the Doorman was his name,never mentioned after his disappearance.
