My grandfather who died when my dad was 14 was a SP book maker and ran a two up ring on the farm near footscray in the 1940's. Dad said he and his brothers and friends got paid to be the gala's and sound the alarm when a group of police turned up. Dad said there would be hundred or more running in all directions.
