The 3rd fraction down the hill.....is that for 6 furlongs, or for 1/16th from home?
It's either 1/4 mile from 2nd call to 3rd call, or 1/16th from 3rd call to finish, but it can't be both like 6 1/2 furlong races usually are because the race is an "about".
Thanks to those that can clarify.

I think this may help answer your question UCapper
6.5 furlong distance
The first 1320 ft is the 1st fraction (2f mark)
The next 1320 ft is the 2nd fraction (4f mark)
The remaining 1650 ft are calculated as the
3rd fraction..
