Frequently Asked Questions
What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Fukushima Racecourse 1800m?
Fukushima Racecourse (JRA) benchmarks are calibrated directly from GLD Racing's empirical Class Par dataset (865,435 historical starts). At 1800m, standard velocities (m/s) and par finish times are normalized across the JRA class ladder alongside daily track variant and surface moisture adjustments.
What is the barrier draw and running style bias at Fukushima Racecourse 1800m?
Fukushima Racecourse features a 292.0m (Turf) / 295.7m (Dirt) homestretch (Right-Handed (Clockwise)). At 1800m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 10.7% SR compared to 6.7% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Inside Stalkers & On-Pace Runners (SPD / OP). Short 305m run to the first turn rewards inside-to-middle gates that establish forward tactical position.
How do surface going, rail shifts, or sand moisture affect Fukushima Racecourse speed figures?
292m Short Stretch • Spiral Curves • Early-Meet Inside Speed vs Late-Meet Outer Turf Bias. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Fukushima Racecourse past performances directly against other JRA venues.
