Fair Grounds actually does not use it anymore because of the horrible camera angle. That's why they started doing 1 mile and 70 yard races this meet.

The bigger issue here is that the stretch is now going to be approximately 568 feet in these 1 1/16 mile races. That's roughly 10 feet more than Los Alamitos and almost 100 feet less than Delta and Charles Town. At Keeneland and Oaklawn you still have a stretch that's a respectable length (about 880 feet at OP and a little less than that at Kee).
