Japanese Derby race overview

The G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) is a horse race organized by the Japan Racing Association. It holds an international Grade 1 status and is known as the "Nihon Derby." Established in 1932, it was modeled after the Epsom Derby in the UK and initially held at the Meguro Racecourse as a race limited to 4-year-old (now 3-year-old) horses. It serves as a contest to determine the best horse of its generation.
Positioned as the second title of the "JRA Triple Crown" following the G1 Satsuki Sho, it allows 3-year-old colts and fillies to compete, but geldings are not permitted. Winning this race is considered one of the highest honors coveted by participants in Japanese horse racing.
