I forget where I read it ... from a jockey last year, perhaps? Chuck Simon? Someone mentioned that not only is the roaring crowd all over the horses on the right as they come home, but on the left, too, due to infield and the luxury villages in the infield - said the horses turn for home and it's like running into a narrow canyon.
Edit: No intent to imply, express or implicit, that Chuck Simon is a jockey. Not that he couldn't be a jockey. If he wanted to. Perhaps.
