The six storey stand (one of the floors is below ground level) at Nakayama Racecourse overlooking the parade ring. The general admission charge of yen 200, about £1 allows the public to view the parade ring from the lower floors.There are usually 12 races on a typical race card with nearly all the races having 16 runners. The big race of the day's racing is invariably the eleventh race, so there is a build up of tension throughout the day until the big one. The 12th and last race is a consolation race and for losing points to have one last chance to get their money back if they are on a losing streak. General admission to the course, which will give access to most areas of the stand and the paddock area for horse viewing pre-race, is only 200 yen (about £1.00). Nakayama Racecourse is located in the suburbs of Tokyo in Funabashi, Chiba, Japan. It is used only for horse racing and has a capacity of 165, 676. It was built in 1990 and has 15, 944 seats, most of them enclosed. Nakayama Racecourse has two grass courses, a dirt course and a jump course. Japan's top jump race, and the richest steeplechase race in the world, the Nakayama Grand Jump is run here every April. The Nakayama Grand Jump has a 170 million yen (approx. £800, 000) purse. Traditionally a working-class vice, racing has tried to reinvent itself as a family day out, and though I didn't see many families, there were a lot of young people and quite a few young couples. © Paul Quayle
