Nakayama Racecourse 1200m — Empirical Class Par Times & GLD Speed Figure Benchmarks
Sprinters Stakes course: a 4.5m downhill run from the gate produces blistering opening splits before the tight corner and 2.2m uphill finish. (Inside Draw (1–4): 12.1% SR | Outside Draw (9+): 5.4% SR • Favored Running Style: Inside Early Speed (SPD) & Rail Stalkers)

Distance-by-Distance Barrier Draw & Pace Bias Matrix (Nakayama 1200m)
| Barrier / Gate Group | Empirical Indicator (% SR) | Favored Running Style | Empirical Course & Pace Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inside Draws (Gates 1–4) | 12.1% SR | Inside Early Speed (SPD) & Rail Stalkers | Sprinters Stakes course: a 4.5m downhill run from the gate produces blistering opening splits before the tight corner and 2.2m uphill finish. |
| Middle Draws (Gates 5–8) | 8.6% SR | Inside Early Speed (SPD) & Rail Stalkers | Rails A/B/C • 310m Short Stretch + 2.2m Steep Wall • Strong Inside/Early Speed Bias |
| Outside Draws (Gates 9+) | 5.4% SR | Inside Early Speed (SPD) & Rail Stalkers | 310.0m (Turf) / 308.0m (Dirt) • 5.3m total undulation with JRA’s steepest 2.2m final uphill wall (2.24% gradient) |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Nakayama Racecourse 1200m?
Nakayama Racecourse (JRA) benchmarks are calibrated directly from GLD Racing's empirical Class Par dataset (865,435 historical starts). At 1200m, 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 Nakayama Racecourse 1200m?
Nakayama Racecourse features a 310.0m (Turf) / 308.0m (Dirt) homestretch (Right-Handed (Clockwise)). At 1200m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 12.1% SR compared to 5.4% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Inside Early Speed (SPD) & Rail Stalkers. Sprinters Stakes course: a 4.5m downhill run from the gate produces blistering opening splits before the tight corner and 2.2m uphill finish.
How do surface going, rail shifts, or sand moisture affect Nakayama Racecourse speed figures?
Rails A/B/C • 310m Short Stretch + 2.2m Steep Wall • Strong Inside/Early Speed Bias. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Nakayama Racecourse past performances directly against other JRA venues.
