Question

What race track has the largest stretch in thoroughbred racing?

Answer 1

Belmont Park in NY. It's the only 1.5 mile track out there.

Answer 2

discounting the somewhat esoteric, ( goofy attempts if true be told) tracks in Europe, you will find that Belmont in New York, and Ellis Park in little old Henderson Kentucky, are the only two tracks where a mile and slightly more can be contested, and run ONE turn only.

Belmont is better known, but Ellis Park is just as large

Answer 3

Either Belmont Park or Churchill Downs.

Answer 4

I'm not sure.  I think it is either Aintree or Sandown.

Answer 5

I'd have to go with Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse.  As it is an L-shaped track, the actual home stretch is 1m 2f

If you are talking about the largest course over all again I'd say Newmarket which is an impressive 2m 2f from the very end to the finish line.

Round courses do not tend to be more than about 1m6f round.

Answer 6

Probably Kentucky Downs
