Hi Sands,
A 1200 meter race run in 71 seconds would mean that the horse is traveling at average of 16.9 m/sec.
Given that a length is 8ft (2.438 meters) then one length would be about 0.14 seconds...
so if 2.7 lengths = 1 second then a 71 second race would be 191.7 lths long or about (191 X 2.4m). Less than 500 meters..
Thanks for your input, but I suggest you've been misled..
