Betting on horses, 1912
Until the 1980s betting on horses was one of only two significant forms of gambling in New Zealand (the other being lotteries). In 1910 bookmakers were made illegal, but on-course betting using the totalisator remained. Here men queue to place their bets at Trentham racecourse soon after the change.
