Perspective
Tokyo Racecourse's grass course measures 2,083 m (6,834 ft) with two chutes (1800 m and 2000 m). Races can be run on the "A Course" rail setting (on the hedge), the "B Course" setting (rail out 3 meters), the "C Course" setting (rail out 6 meters), the "D Course" setting (rail out 9 meters) or the "E Course" setting (rail out 12 meters).[3]
The dirt course measures 1,899 m (6,230 ft), with a 1,600 m (5,200 ft) chute.[3]
The jump course measures 1,675 m (5,495 ft).
There was a chute for 3200m races (used for the Tenno Sho Autumn races), but when the race was shortened to 2000m, the 3200m chute was useless and is not in use as of today.
The course was renovated in 2007 (started in 2000), adding the world's largest video screen and upgrading a grandstand, named the Fuji View Stand, which in today is the main grandstand of the course. The Memorial 60 grandstand was also added. The high-definition video screen measured 218 feet (66 m) wide by only 37 feet (11 m) high at 8,066 square feet (749.4 m2). In 2009 Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri took the world's largest title with an 84-foot (26 m) by 104-foot (32 m) is 8,736-square-foot (811.6 m2) screen.[4]
All races have a US style gate run distance of approximately 5 metres, before official timing begins.
