Exclusive Topics for Horse Racing in Japan - Spring Edition
Exclusive Topics for Horse Racing in Japan - Spring Edition - March 2019 The Japan Racing Association The JRA’s 2019 horse racing season will start in earnest with the three-year-old classic trials in March as established horses begin to prepare towards the spring G1 events. In this special Spring edition of our international newsletter, we are pleased to bring you up to date on the progress of last year’s stars and this season’s key runners, part of our ongoing effort to support your reporting of JRA events. High Expectations for Almond Eye’s Further Success Challenges abroad by Japanese-trained horses resulted in one or more G1 titles every year from 2011 to 2017, but expectations are high for renewed success this spring when a number of top Japanese runners will seek success against international competitors. The focus is centered on Almond Eye (JPN, F4, by Lord Kanaloa), JRA’s 2018 Horse of the Year and winner of the fillies’ Triple Crown, who is slated to run in the Dubai Turf (G1, 1,800m) on March 30. Trainer Sakae Kunieda explained the reason why he chose the Dubai Turf instead of the Dubai Sheema Classic (G1, 2,410m), stating that “the filly is more comfortable at 1,800 meters” and that “Japanese runners have come up with favorable results at this distance in the past three Dubai Turf races, producing two wins and a second.” The coming Dubai Turf will be Almond Eye’s first start in four months, since she claimed the Japan Cup (G1, 2,400m) in a record 2:20.6.

THE 70TH HANSHIN JUVENILE FILLIES (G1) Races for Two-Year-Olds Were Held for the First Time in 1946 at Tokyo
FROM: Masahiro Usuda General Manager, Media & Publicity Department, THE JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION (JRA) DATE: December 9, 2018 SUBJECT: RESULTS OF THE 70TH HANSHIN JUVENILE FILLIES (G1) Races for two-year-olds were held for the first time in 1946 at Tokyo. As the number of contenders increased, championship races that determine the top two-year-olds of the season—the Asahi Hai Sansai Stakes (predecessor to the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes) and the Hanshin Sansai Stakes (predecessor to the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies)—were established in eastern and western Japan, respectively, in 1949. The two races were designated G1 status in conjunction with the new grading system implemented in 1984. In 1991, the two races were divided by gender into two separate G1 events; the Hanshin Sansai Himba Stakes for two-year-old fillies and the Asahi Hai Sansai Stakes for two-year-old colts and geldings, then renamed “Hanshin Juvenile Fillies” and “Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes”, respectively, in 2001. The Hanshin Juvenile Fillies, which initially started as a 1,200-meter sprint race, was extended to 1,400 meters in 1960 and to 1,600 meters in 1962. In 2010, the race was opened to foreign runners. Recent winners of the race include many successful G1 champions such as 2006 winner and 2008 & 2009 Horse of the Year Vodka (JPN, by Tanino Gimlet) who is the current race record holder at 1:33.1 over the mile distance; 2008 champion and 2010 Horse of the Year Buena Vista (JPN, by Special Week); and 2009 champion Apapane (JPN, by King Kamehameha) who subsequently won the Triple Crown titles for three-year-old fillies—the Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas, G1, 1,600m), the Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks, G1, 2,400m) and the Shuka Sho (G1, 2,000m)—in 2010.

Exclusive Topics for Horse Racing in Japan – Summer Edition –
Exclusive Topics for Horse Racing in Japan – Summer Edition – July 2021 The Japan Racing Association JRA-organized races and racegoers have fortunately been able to avoid the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic this year. Whereas races had to be held in front of empty stands from mid- January, venues gradually began to reopen their doors with capacity limitations as early as March, Nakayama Racecourse being the last to do so in April. With the exception of the February Stakes, the spring G1 series was able to be held with the attendance and support of fans. The World All-Star Jockeys, however, which is held annually in Sapporo in late August, had to be canceled for the second year in a row. Major spring events around the world resumed this year. At the Dubai World Cup day meeting in late March, Japanese contenders registered runner-up efforts in four G1 races on the card. The following month, they swept the top four places in Hong Kong’s Queen Elizabeth II Cup (G1, 2,000m), where Loves Only You (JPN, M5, by Deep Impact) took home first prize. As contenders expected to compete abroad this autumn gradually coming to light, six home-bred nominees for this year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1, 2,400m) on October 3 were announced in May. The first potential Arc runner to be announced was Deep Bond (JPN, C4, by Kizuna), who was 10th, 5th and 4th in last year’s Triple Crown races, each time behind champion Contrail (JPN, C4, by Deep Impact) who made a clean sweep.

Exclusive Topics for JAPAN AUTUMN INTERNATIONAL 2017 - 2Nd Edition
Exclusive Topics for JAPAN AUTUMN INTERNATIONAL 2017 - 2nd Edition - October 2017 The Japan Racing Association Two Races Upgraded to G1 Status (contributed by Kenichi Nomoto, Nikkei) The JRA racing program upgraded two races to G1 status for the first time in 11 years in 2017. The two races were the Osaka Hai (Hanshin Racecourse), a 2,000-meter race for older horses (4-year-olds & up), which is held the week before the Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas), and the Hopeful Stakes (Nakayama, 2,000m) for two-year-olds, which is held at the end of the season. The Osaka Hai was upgraded as a new target in the spring for those specializing in 2,000 meters. The traditional G1 events for older horses during the spring are the 3,200-meter Tenno Sho (Spring) at Kyoto Racecourse and the 2,200-meter Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin, but an increasing number of runners are focusing on middle distances, opting to pass up the long-distance Tenno Sho (Spring). Moreover, the Takarazuka Kinen has struggled to attract top horses due to its often bad weather and heavy track in the June rainy season. The newly upgraded Osaka Hai was contested between 14 runners, including 2016 Horse of the Year Kitasan Black (JPN, H5, by Black Tide), who became the inaugural winner of this new G1 race to score his fourth career G1 title. He then continued with another impressive performance in the Tenno Sho (Spring), which he won for the second year running, but was heavily defeated to ninth in his third start of this spring, the Takarazuka Kitasan Black in the 2017 Osaka Hai Kinen.

The 22Nd Nhk Mile Cup (G1)
FROM: Masahiro Usuda General Manager, Media & Publicity Department, THE JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION (JRA) DATE: May 7, 2017 SUBJECT: RESULT OF THE 22ND NHK MILE CUP (G1) While races in Japan for three-year-olds had been programmed mainly to facilitate those aiming towards the middle-long distance three-year-old Classics as typified by the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby, G1, 2,400m), the interest in speed races is growing both within and outside Japan, and earning much respect as the traditional Classics. In 1996, JRA reorganized its races in order to accommodate and promote the three-year-olds suited to short distances, and established the NHK Mile Cup which was named after its sponsor Nippon Hoso Kyokai (Japan Broadcasting Corporation)—Japan’s only public broadcaster. The race was designated as an international race in 2009. Past NHK Mile Cup winners include subsequent derby winners King Kamehameha (JPN, by Kingmambo; ’04) and Deep Sky (JPN, by Agnes Tachyon; ’08) while El Condor Pasa (USA, by Kingmambo; ’98) and Kurofune (USA, by French Deputy; ’01) won the Japan Cup (G1, 2,400m) and the Japan Cup Dirt (G1, dirt, 2,100m), respectively. Jo Strictly came off a victory in the official trial towards the 2017 edition of the NHK Mile Cup, the New Zealand Trophy (G2, 1,600m; Apr.8). Mayson Junior (JPN, by Mayson) and Bom Servico, a third-place finisher in the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes (G1, 1,600m; Dec.18) last year, finished second and third, respectively, in the trial race but Mayson Junior decided to pass up the mile G1 with a shin sore.

In 1861, when Japan was about to move from the feudal system into the Meiji Restoration, foreign residents living in Yokohama, predominantly British, introduced the first Western-style horse racing by establishing the Yokohama Race Club to Japan. Western style horse racing was held in foreign enclaves, and hence, unfortunately, very little is known or recorded about initial era in Japan’s modern horse racing history. At about the same time that the name of the Japanese central city was changed from Edo to Tokyo, Western-style horse racing began to be found in the major metropolitan cities across the country. In 1906, the government embarked on a policy which tacitly allowed to bet. This led to the introduction of modern horse racing featuring sales of betting tickets in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other metropolitan cities, from which most racing operations benefited.
