A furlong is a distance unit in imperial units and United States customary units. It is one-eighth of a mile, or roughly 660 feet, 220 yards, 40 rods, 10 chains, or 201 meters. It's mainly used in horse racing and agriculture to measure race lengths and rural field distances.

The BRIS (brisnet) single file/data file is used for Pick Pony processing. The .csv file can appear cryptic at first glance. Here are the field definitions for the file.
