A 'length' in horseracing is appoximately 8', the distance from the horse's nose to his tail. Secretariat's Belmont Stakes win put him at 31 lengths or 248 ft. in front of the 2nd place horse, Sham. He was clocked at the wire travelling 52 fps, or 52 feet per second. To this day Secretariat's record at the Belmont Stakes has never even been approached and is considered the greatest racehorse of all time.
