Frequently Asked Questions
What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Kyoto Racecourse 2400m?
Kyoto Racecourse (JRA) benchmarks are calibrated directly from GLD Racing's empirical Class Par dataset (865,435 historical starts). At 2400m, 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 Kyoto Racecourse 2400m?
Kyoto Racecourse features a 403.7m (Outer Turf) / 328.4m (Inner Turf) / 329.1m (Dirt) homestretch (Right-Handed (Clockwise)). At 2400m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 9.5% SR compared to 7.8% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Long-Sustained Stamina Stalkers & Closers. Outer Turf route where riders trigger an 800m sustained sprint from the crest of the 3rd-corner hill.
How do surface going, rail shifts, or sand moisture affect Kyoto Racecourse speed figures?
Rails A/B/C/D • 4.3m Downhill 3rd-Corner Launch • Flat High-Speed Homestretch. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Kyoto Racecourse past performances directly against other JRA venues.
