Tokyo Racecourse 2000m — Empirical Class Par Times & GLD Speed Figure Benchmarks
The iconic Tenno Sho (Autumn) chute starts in the 1st-turn pocket with only 130m to an acute angle turn, penalizing wide draws. (Inside Draw (1–4): 10.6% SR | Outside Draw (9+): 6.4% SR • Favored Running Style: Inside-to-Mid Tactical Stalkers (OP / PCK))

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the empirical Class Par and GLD Speed Figure benchmark at Tokyo Racecourse 2000m?
Tokyo 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 Tokyo Racecourse 2000m?
Tokyo Racecourse features a 525.9m (Turf) / 501.6m (Dirt) homestretch (Left-Handed (Counter-Clockwise)). At 2000m, inside draws (Gates 1-4) record a 10.6% SR compared to 6.4% SR for outside draws (Gates 9+), favoring Inside-to-Mid Tactical Stalkers (OP / PCK). The iconic Tenno Sho (Autumn) chute starts in the 1st-turn pocket with only 130m to an acute angle turn, penalizing wide draws.
How do surface going, rail shifts, or sand moisture affect Tokyo Racecourse speed figures?
Rails A/B/C/D (3m shifts) • Cushion Value 9.2–10.6 • Turf-Start Dirt 1600m Chute. GLD Speed Figures automatically separate true horse velocity from surface speed variants so you can compare Tokyo Racecourse past performances directly against other JRA venues.
