Thoroughbred race horse tracks are usually oval in design, and vary in length from 440-yards to 2.5-miles. The Kentucky Derby is ran on a 1.25-mile dirt track. The Dubai World Cup is ran on a synthetic dirt track of the same distance.
The size of the Kentucky Derby racetrack is 1-1/4 miles. That's 2 kilometers, or 10 furlongs. It's a left-handed dirt track. 'The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports' takes place annually at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
That's actually not the average, that's the largest I believe maybe in the world. Belmont Park for instance is a 1 1/2 mile track. That in fact I think is the only US track that is that long. The majority of tracks in the US are a mile, some, very few are 1 1/8 mile. The bull rings as they are know maybe only 6 furlongs which is 3/4 of a mile. I believe one track in Saudi Arabia is also 1 1/2 miles.

depends on the size of the horse, a standard thoroughbred at 16hh weighs 600-700kgs
2 centimeters
Professional tables are a standard size, but there are other smaller ones.
In 1803, there was no standard size or standard construction. Both wide and very narrow tracks were in use, and most were made of wood with metal plates or reinforcement. So their size, by weight, had no standard as well.
donkeys are about the size between a cow and a goat, mammoth donkeys on the other hand are as big as a horse
A horse's height is measured from the ground to the withers, which is the highest point on the horse's shoulder blades. This measurement is used as a standard way to describe the size of a horse.
Track Size for Outdoor Track The standard running track size for outdoor track is 400 meters. This length is also approximately a quarter of a mile. The track is in an oval shape. Today, tracks have a rubber surface; whereas, older tracks are usually cinder covered. The inner field of the track usually has natural grass or an artificial surface. The inner field can be used for field events. Often, the inner field is also used as a football or soccer field. You can find outdoor tracks all over. From colleges to high schools, to professional sport fields, outdoor tracks can be found. The number of lanes in an outdoor track depends on what level the track is used for. Outdoor tracks at smaller high schools may have six lanes; whereas, tracks used at the Olympics and other high level track events often have nine lanes. Track Size for Indoor Track The standard running track size for indoor track is 200 meters, half the size of an outdoor track. However, although the standard size is 200 meters, some indoor tracks are 150 meters and others are 120 meters. Additionally, some indoor track meets will take place on tracks over 200 meters, however, because the track size is more than 200 meters, no official records can be set on these larger indoor tracks. In indoor track meets, the field events only include high jump, long jump, pole vault, triple jump, and shot put. These events will take place within the circumference of the track. The longest running event that takes place on an indoor track is 5,000 meters. The 3,000 meter race is also commonly run at the collegiate level.
A standard running track has 400 m in one lap. The 800 m race is therefore 2 laps of the track.
On average, jockeys are the smallest group of professional athletes, as horse racing is a sport where small size is an advantage.
On an Olympic size track (400 meters), 25 laps = 10000 meters.
Adopting standard-gauge tracks was important for the railroad industry because then railroad cars could be switched from one track to another for more efficient service. The standard size of railroad cards after this action made it possible for railroads to join forces to move products.
