I don't know why this is such "top secret" information - but it would seem as if the new Los Alamitos thoroughbred track is significantly less than 1 mile in circumference. Check out a video of any route race held there: No way is there anywhere near a full 1/16th of a mile from the finish line to the 7 1/2-furlong pole.
So can anyone answer this dumb riddle? And once it is solved, it becomes possible to determine how long the turns are - if, of course, someone also knows how long it is from the finish line to the first turn, another apparent "secret," which can actually be revealed if anyone has a pre-1982 edition of The American Racing Manual handy, which should include this information.
