I was checking out the photo of the 1934 Ky Derby

So I did a Google Search and got this news reel link

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s2/Time/1934/derby.html

Check out the fans closing in on the track as Cavalcade comes down the stretch to win.............the track either had a break away wall or it was only 6-7 wide?

1934 – Cavalcade become the second New Jersey-bred to win the Kentucky Derby.
