And talking about stretch lengths, the inner dirt stretch at Aqueduct is longer than the main track. Doesn't make sense, but it is true.

I think that people just assume Belmont has to have a long stretch because of the 1 1/2 mile circumference of the track. Actually, it is about the same distance from the beginning of the stretch to the finish as it is from the finish to the clubhouse turn. The 6 furlong pole is directly across from the finish line. Most tracks have the finish line closer to the clubhouse turn than the head of the stretch ala Churchill and Santa Anita
