H. THE STANDS

When the Derby was run on a Wednesday, there might be 250,000 people there.

At Tattenham Corner, there is a huge crowd infield on the other side of the rails.

Either side, there are people screaming, and you can hear the roar.

It's like running down a tunnel of noise. It could be frightening to some people.
