EMPIRICAL COURSE & DISTANCE PILLAR GUIDE • KRA 1800m

Seoul Race Park 1800m — Empirical Class Par Times & GLD Speed Figure Benchmarks

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Seoul Race Park 1800m?

Seoul Race Park (KRA) benchmarks are calibrated directly from GLD Racing's empirical Class Par dataset (865,435 historical starts). At 1800m, 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 1800m?

Seoul Race Park features a 400.0m (Inner Sand) / 400.0m (Outer Sand) homestretch (Left-Handed (Counter-Clockwise)). At 1800m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 10.6% SR compared to 6.4% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Balanced Stalkers & Dry-Sand G3F Closers. Four-turn route: on wet sand (moisture >=12%) front-runners hold on; on dry sand (3%–5%) strong G3F closers reel in tired leaders.

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.
