Frequently Asked Questions
What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Seoul Race Park 1600m?
Seoul Race Park (KRA) 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 KRA class ladder alongside daily track variant and surface moisture adjustments.
What is the barrier draw and running style bias at Seoul Race Park 1600m?
Seoul Race Park features a 400.0m (Inner Sand) / 400.0m (Outer Sand) homestretch (Left-Handed (Counter-Clockwise)). At 1600m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 11.8% SR compared to 5% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Inside Gates (1–4) & Two-Turn Tactical Speed. Starts near the 2nd corner with an immediate turn entry; wide draws (>Gate 8) lose significant ground early.
How do surface going, rail shifts, or sand moisture affect Seoul Race Park speed figures?
Sand Moisture (함수율) 3% Dry to 20%+ Sloppy • Velocity Slope +0.01027 m/s per 1% Moisture • Strong S1F Inside Speed Bias. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Seoul Race Park past performances directly against other KRA venues.
