Frequently Asked Questions

What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Hakodate Racecourse 1800m?

Hakodate 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 Hakodate Racecourse 1800m?

Hakodate Racecourse features a 262.1m (Turf, Shortest in JRA) / 260.3m (Dirt) homestretch (Right-Handed (Clockwise)). At 1800m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 11.4% SR compared to 6.1% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Tactical Front-Runners & Rail Stalkers (SPD / OP). Four tight turns and a 262.1m stretch penalize wide closers; horses inside the top 4 at the final bend control the finish.

How do surface going, rail shifts, or sand moisture affect Hakodate Racecourse speed figures?

262.1m Shortest JRA Straight • 100% Cool-Season Turf (洋芝) • 3.5m Backstretch Climb. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Hakodate Racecourse past performances directly against other JRA venues.
