In terms of marketing who said size wasn't everything? News last week that Tokyo racecourse plans to install a video screen that track officials claim will be the largest in the world (surpassing the display board at Hong Kong's Sha Tin racecourse that measures 26 feet by 231 feet for a surface area of 6,006 feet). Thoroughbredtimes.com reported that the planned Tokyo in-field screen will be 36 feet high & 197 feet wide (for a surface area of 7,092 square feet). Construction is scheduled for completion in September 2006.
