jiggle bells 里面一句歌词怎么理解

Just get a bob-tailed bay, 找只短尾褐马，
Two-forty for his speed; 每分钟240步；
then hitch him to an open sleigh, 系在无蓬雪车上，
And crack! You'll take the lead. 劈啪劈啪！由你带路。


Two-forty for his speed 这句怎么理解？翻译的很通畅可是不知道为什么这样翻译 是惯用法还是什么的？请大家指教谢谢！

网上找到的解释:Two-forty for his speed
A mile in two minutes and forty seconds, especially pulling a sleigh down a country lane, is a brisk speed. This song was written at a time when the average person would have recognized this as a horse from the harness racing world.

什么意思？1里/160秒？马的速度？

就是两分四十秒跑一里
这马速度不怎么样，22.5里/小时，一天也就是270里，不是千里马啊。

是拖著雪撬跑的
管他了，坐地日行八百里，巡天遥看一千河。
