Question

How long is a furlong in horse racing. How many furlongs is a race that is 1 3/16 miles?

Answer 1

There are 8 furlongs in a mile.  A furlong is 220 yards, which is 660 feet.  

1 3/16 miles is the same as 9 1/2 (9.5) furlongs.

Answer 2

9.5 furlongs....the shortest of all three triple crown races....this distance is a odd duck..most tracks run 1 1/16 then 1 1/8....and then 1 1/4.....and then

1 1/2.....mile races......
