It depends on the distance the race is run over and the track conditions but generally 5 lengths to the second is a good guide.
One second is equal to five horse lengths, so 5 seconds would be equal to 25 horse lengths. Secretariat actually won his Belmont Stakes by 6 and one fifth seconds!!

the best horse they say is Secretariat because in a race he was up by 36 lengths Many believe Secretariat is the finest Thoroughbred racehorse we've seen. He won the Triple Crown in 1973. Actually, the final race in the Triple Crown is the Belmont Stakes (which may be what was ref'd above). He won the Belmont by 32 lengths & set the Track record for 1.5 miles in 2:24. This record still stands - no horse has run it faster.
There's no specifics for a horse racing track. Horse race track dimensions vary according to the style of racing, the distances and the type of events as per the country's racing code.
Sections of track are various lengths in different systems. Tracks can also be seamless, continuously welded tracks. The most common lengths in America are 39 feet and 78 feet, while in the UK lengths of 20 meters are common.
For me the greatest thoroughbred horse ever is the "Big Red" Secretariat simply because of his greatest performances and track records. Secretariat has a world track record that still stands today and no ever horse can break that track record. He is also a Triple Crown Champion and winning the last leg "The Belmont Stakes Race by a staggering 31 Lengths. Secretariat was by far the best racehorse but i've also heard that he was a pretty crappy sire so that must be considered also.
