one mile seven furlongs

i think in the past they rounded distance up.
Or the courses measured the exact distances now. So would be down as 2m in the past.

the distance there is 1m 7f 121 yards (220 yards in a furlong), so its just over 1m and 7.5 furlongs to be precise.

most haved change, as above

some examples ...

Sedgefield    2m178y
Market Rasen         2m148y
Huntingdon    1m7f121y
Newton Abbot    2m167y
Stratford        2m70y
Worcester    2m
Ludlow    1m7f169y
Wincanton    1m7f65y
Plumpton    1m7f195y
Ludlow    Good    1m7f169y
Huntingdon         1m7f121y

Thanks for that   thought they had knocked off a furlong

been like that for months

BUT - Then they move the RAILS OUT, on the bends - and, or re-site the Hurdles on the Outside - ADDING Yards to the Overall race distance - and often taking it back to 2 miles .... or more.

Pointless, pedantic, exercise - measuring, or trying to measure, Jump races to the 'precise' yard.

I always thought it was "about 2 miles" which 1m 7f 195y is
who cares what the precise yardage is for jumping...its so pointless when you get exaggerated rail movements, obstacles re-sited etc

actually I'm surprised they haven't taken this opportunity to put the distances in metres
