❾Motor/ Boat
The Race Card contains data about the motors and boats as with the racers. They have registration numbers and performance records (top 2-places ratio ) The motors and boats are owned by each stadium and racers draw lots for them. The higher the value of the top 2-places ratio, the better the motors and boats, presumably.
❿Session Performance/Finishing position/
Entry lane Start Timing
From the preliminaries to the final, BOAT RACE is held over a maximum of 7 days (normally 4 to 6 days). This period when the set of races are held is called a Session. The racers enter many races per Session so the Race Card has data on the performance for that particular Session. The data is valuable in assessing how good each racer’s current form is.
・Assessing the Data
For example, [6四19] denotes 6th place, lane 4 entered, 0.19 ST. If two sets of data are given in one column, the racer entered two races on the same day, with data for the 1st race on the left and data for the 2nd race on the right.
一=1
二=2
三=3
四=4
五=5
六=6
⓫Quick Reference
Racers who are going to be in two races in one day are given the race numbers. If the box is blank, that racer is only going to enter in one race that day.
