Answer the following question: Information: - A furlong is a measure of distance in imperial units and U.S. customary units equal to one-eighth of a mile, equivalent to 660 feet, 220 yards, 40 rods, or 10 chains. Using the international definition of the inch as exactly 25.4 millimetres, one furlong is 201.168 metres. However, the United States does not uniformly use this conversion ratio. Older ratios are in use for surveying purposes in some states, leading to variations in the length of the furlong of about two parts per million, or 0.4 millimetres (inch). This variation is too small to have many practical consequences. Five furlongs are about 1.0 kilometre (1.00584km is the exact value, according to the international conversion). - The Flash Stakes was an important and prestigious race for two - year - old Thoroughbred horses and one of the longest running horse racing events in America . Run before races were graded , the Flash was won by a host of starry names . Begun before the United States Hotel Stakes ( also now removed from racing 's roster ) , it was the oldest race for juveniles of either gender in the US . Once a historic fixture in Saratoga , New York at the Saratoga Race Course , it was eliminated in 2005 by the New York Racing Association ( NYRA ) , which feared bankruptcy . Moved from its home in Saratoga after a long absence , the Grade III Flash had raced on at Belmont Park as a five furlong sprint on the main track for a $ 100,000 added purse until the NYRA 's 2005 decision . - Saratoga Race Course is a thoroughbred horse racing track in Saratoga Springs, New York, United States, with a capacity of 50,000. Opened in 1863, it is the third oldest racetrack in the US (after 2nd oldest Pleasanton Fairgrounds Racetrack & oldest Freehold Raceway), though it is often considered to be the oldest sporting venue of any kind in the country. - The United States Hotel Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in the late summer or early autumn until 1955 at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. It was run on dirt over a distance of six furlongs. Raced in the pre-grading era, for most of its existence the race was one of the premier shorter distance competitions for two-year-old horses in the United States. - The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing. Although the word "thoroughbred" is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered "hot-blooded" horses that are known for their agility, speed and spirit. - Saratoga Springs is a city in Saratoga County, New York, United States, that is also widely known as simply Saratoga (though not to be confused with the nearby town of that name). The population was 26,586 at the 2010 census. The name reflects the presence of mineral springs in the area, which has made Saratoga a popular resort destination for over 200 years. The city is just north of Albany in the heart of New York's Capital Region. - A breed is a specific group of domestic animals having homogeneous appearance (phenotype), homogeneous behavior, and/or other characteristics that distinguish it from other organisms of the same species. Breeds are formed through genetic isolation and either natural adaptation to the environment or selective breeding, or a combination of the two. Despite the centrality of the idea of "breeds" to animal husbandry and agriculture, no single, scientifically accepted definition of the term exists. A breed is therefore not an objective or biologically verifiable classification but is instead a term of art amongst groups of breeders who share a consensus around what qualities make some members of a given species members of a nameable subset. - or "cultivars" of an animal species, achieved through the process of selective breeding. When the lineage of a purebred animal is recorded, that animal is said to be "pedigreed". What is the relationship between 'flash stakes' and 'horse race'?
