Hi Doc, I'm somewhat surprised that you haven't come across the word before. "The final furlong" comes from horse racing where in the UK (and I would have thought the US) the length of the race is measured in miles and furlongs - eg the Grand National (a steeple chase) is 4 miles and 2 furlongs long. The most exciting point in any race is the final sprint to the finishing line - the final furlong - when the radio commentator's voice gradually gets higher and higher as he describes the neck and neck tussle as to which horse is going to pip the other at the post!
Except, in DCVax's race there is no competition - it is a "1-horse race".
