    What’s up with those man-bags? Are those a racetrack thing?

      It’s where you keep your 20 pound 1905 binoculars, a hard leather case with green felt inside.

      (Ok, the green felt was the expensive upgrade). Also pictured, the leather shoelace you’d have to use if you didn’t bring the leather case.

        Oh, that makes perfect sense, thanks.

      If I had to guess, those are to carry their binoculars

      I also wouldn’t be surprised to see bookies with bags at a race track, that feels like it could be a thing

        Sounds right, thanks.
