[Race Introduction] Upgraded to JpnI from 2024. The timing of the race also changed from late May or early June to mid-to-late June, positioning it as the pinnacle of older horse sprints in the first half of the year, in contrast to the JBC Sprint JpnI in the autumn. The 2024 winner, Lemon Pop (JRA), was awarded the JRA Award for Best Dirt Horse for the second consecutive year. Furthermore, along with the Oval Sprint JpnIII held on the same course, this race is notable for the strong performances of local horses, and even after becoming a JpnI, local horses continued to perform well. Igniter (Hyogo), who won this race in 2023 when it was a JpnII, finished second in 2024 when it became a JpnI. In 2025, Muex (Funabashi) came in second. (Osamu Saito) [History] Established in 1997 as a Grade III dirt grade race. Initially held in September, it has been held in late May or early June since 2005. It was upgraded to a JpnII in 2011 and to a JpnI in 2024. At the same time, the weight carried was changed from grade-specific weight-for-age to fixed weight, the age limit was changed from 4 years and older to 3 years and older, and the race was moved to mid-June, making it the pinnacle race of the first half of the year in dirt sprint racing. Along with the JBC Sprint JpnI in the autumn, it is expected to further boost the popularity of dirt sprint racing.
