The Kentucky Derby Churchill Downs race, consists of horse race that ends at 8,000 running miles. The miles are calculated as the horses run, and are added together until the total is reached. At that point, the horse that has run the most distance is declared the winner, and awarded the blanket of roses, and a gold horseshoe.

There are 8 furlongs in a mile. The Kentucky Derby is 1 1/4 miles in length. That makes the length of the Derby 10 furlongs.
