Six furlongs around 2 turns. They simply move the starting gate further up the homestretch.
Usually 6f is only run for older horses at the beginning of the meet, but the last few years they have been running the odd race for older horses at 6f.
Vast majority of races for older horses are run at 6.5f and 8.5f.
