EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Tic-Tac Man confidently signals the odds at Dingle Racecourse in County Kerry, Ireland, during the 1960s racing season. The year is 1962, and the atmosphere is thick with excitement and anticipation as the crowd gathers around the track, eagerly awaiting the outcome of the next race. The Tic-Tac Man, a vital figure in Irish horse racing culture, is a bookmaker who uses a board with three rows of three squares each to display the odds for each horse in the race. With a focused expression and a deft touch, he marks the winning odds in chalk, the numbers changing rapidly as bets are placed and the odds shift. The scene is set against the backdrop of the picturesque Dingle Racecourse, with its lush green grass, grandstands, and the rugged cliffs of County Kerry in the distance. The 1960s fashion and the vintage cars in the foreground add to the sense of nostalgia and history. Gambling was a significant part of the Irish racing tradition, and the Tic-Tac Man played a crucial role in the experience. His board, with its ever-changing odds, was a source of fascination and intrigue for the bettors, who would study it intently, trying to decipher the odds and make their wagers. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era, and offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of horse racing in County Kerry, Ireland. The Tic-Tac Man, with his board and focused expression, stands as a symbol of the excitement, the tradition, and the unpredictability of the sport.
