Track Notes
Course Summary
Grueling right-handed turf marathon requiring more than one and a half laps. Six corners, two major uphill segments, and a very short final straight make this a demanding stamina course. Forward positioning, Stamina, Power, and sustained long-distance speed are all heavily tested.
Fun Facts
• Six-corner routing gives Corner skills repeated value across the long mid-race phase.
• Hakodate 2600m acts as a summer proving ground for stayers.
• The course’s repeated uphill sections punish low Power and weak stamina recovery.
• Heavy European ryegrass makes this layout more draining than many standard long-distance turf courses.
