Based on a 2010 Italian study of 50 standardbred 2 yr old fillies, under actual competitive harness race and sprint lap conditions (average speed conditions 48.2 +- 1.1 ft/sec) the average stride length over the entire race was 7.17m +-0.17m and 7.30m +- .11m during the sprint lap.
The sprint lap value translates to 23.95 ft; this value correlates 1:1 with the stride length for competitive harness pacers as well as for galloping thoroughbreds and quarterhorses.
