“And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”
They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia - the winepress outside the city (reminiscent of the execution of Christ) becomes the place of final judgment. The blood rising to horses' bridles over 1,600 stadia (two hundred miles) expresses the vast and terrible scope of God's final wrath.
