agree  lucca: Cred că acesta e cuvântul: finiş (dar n-am dovezi)

  -> Păi nu e finiş, "stretch" e "linie dreaptă". Problema ar fi cu diferenţierea celor două.

(caii) isi schimba directia si intra in linie dreapta


Explanation:
to swing around = to turn suddenly to face the opposite way
turn = evident, a bend or corner in road
stretch = an area or extent of land or... etc
(caii) schimba directia la cotitura si intra pe portiunea in linie dreapta a pistei... asta ar fi intelesul, poate putem simplifica!

Draga Bianca, nu cred ca poate fi un ”punct” sau linie de sosire, ”stretch” este cu siguranta o bucata de pista, in linie drepata. Gandeste-te la... stretch of land

War Emblem pulled ahead on the back stretch and came around the final turn with Proud (articol la BBC)
exista si o carte cu numele asta!http://www.highstakes.co.uk/shop/product.php/12023/0/
Definitie:Backstretch = The straightaway opposite of the start/finish line. On an oval, it usually connects Turn Two with Turn Three. Va sa zica este pista in linie dreapta opus ”granstand”ului
