Back in the 70s, we ran a series of marathons, including several distances over 4 miles at FL.
The big attraction was they put a picnic table in ftront of the tote board and 4 "Playboy" bunnies would dance on the table during the race, and each lap, one would get down off the table. When 1 bunny was left, the riders knew it was the final lap.
Side note.....in a 4m70 race, my horse got lapped!
