I should point out 1 1/4 miles is 100 spaces and to get 8 horses to work you need to “double stack” 3/4 and 7/8 and use (for example) a fast action statis pro baseball deck (bat numbers) for the first number to get 1-8 for the adder and the first horse to move in every turn. That 1-8 die will add 1 square to each horses move in each turn on average over the six horse standard field.
