Answer:

A furlong is an old unit of distance measurement that is still used in horse racing. It is equivalent to 660 feet (201.168 meters). Horse races are traditionally measured in furlongs, and many race tracks are still laid out in furlongs. Additionally, many horses' performance records are still measured and recorded in furlongs.
