"I have been In business for 35 years, and 1 have never made such books as this year over the Derby and other classics. . "Another point about present day betting,", continued the bookmaker, "Is the number of women customers. Now we have hundreds. I don't know where they get their informa tion, but some of the -biggest checks we have drawn this year have been for women. 'They nearly always pay too.l when they lose.
