Yeah, it used to be 7 1/2 furlongs for the longest time and they changed to a mile, which is about the same thing IMO....the outcome of the race at 7 1/2 is just as likely at a one-turn mile trip IMO......kinda like a mile around two turns and a mile and 70 yards around two turns...not much different from the dynamic of the race....

Actually, as a tidbit - I do remember Bredar changing this race to a mile now.....they also want to get rid of the Ack Ack name (because there are like 3 races around the country named Ack Ack) and they were seriously thinking about changing it to the Muhammed Ali Mile (or maybe just the Ali Mile)....I'll have to find out what happened to that....I hate to say it but maybe they are waiting for him to pass away first....you never know...CD loves publicity as much as the next publicly traded company does......
