Frequently Asked Questions
What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Kokura Racecourse 2000m?
Kokura Racecourse (JRA) benchmarks are calibrated directly from GLD Racing's empirical Class Par dataset (865,435 historical starts). At 2000m, 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 Kokura Racecourse 2000m?
Kokura Racecourse features a 293.0m (Turf) / 291.3m (Dirt) homestretch (Right-Handed (Clockwise)). At 2000m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 9.8% SR compared to 7.6% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Sustained Mid-Pack & Spiral-Turn Closers. Kokura Kinen course: a long 470m run to the first turn creates an honest tempo that rewards sustained 800m finishes.
How do surface going, rail shifts, or sand moisture affect Kokura Racecourse speed figures?
Flat 293m Stretch • Downhill Backstretch Speed • High Early Pace (EP) Track. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Kokura Racecourse past performances directly against other JRA venues.
