Frequently Asked Questions

What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Hanshin Racecourse 1600m?

Hanshin Racecourse (JRA) benchmarks are calibrated directly from GLD Racing's empirical Class Par dataset (865,435 historical starts). At 1600m, 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 Hanshin Racecourse 1600m?

Hanshin Racecourse features a 473.6m (Outer Turf) / 356.5m (Inner Turf) / 352.7m (Dirt) homestretch (Right-Handed (Clockwise)). At 1600m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 8.7% SR compared to 8.4% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring High-LP Closers & Mid-Pack Accelerators. Oka Sho & Hanshin Juvenile Fillies course: sweeping outer turn and 473.6m stretch allow top closers to unwind with zero traffic.

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

Rails A/B • 473.6m Outer Turf Stretch • 1.8m Late Uphill Rise. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Hanshin Racecourse past performances directly against other JRA venues.
