A length of 1-1/4 miles is what the Kentucky Derby racetrack measures. That's the equivalent of 2 kilometers or 10 furlongs. It represents a shortening by 1/4 miles of the original 1-1/2-mile length of the world-famous track.

The track itself is one and a quarter (1 1/4) mile long. Although the Derby is a day-long event, the race lasts a little over 2 minutes.
