Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes 2024 Notable runners

Arte Veloce

Arte Veloce is the winner of the G3 Saudi Arabia Royal Cup. A son of Maurice, winner of six G1 races including the Tenno Sho (Autumn) and Hong Kong Cup, he has won two consecutive races since his debut. He is the closest to the crown, with an excellent lead and a strong closing leg.

Total Clarity

In his debut race, he marked the fastest uphill three furlongs. He was the 6th favorite in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes, but showed a consistent performance to win the race. He has already raced a mile at Kyoto Racecourse and is not to be underestimated even though he is not popular.

Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes race overview

The Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes is a horse racing event held at the Hanshin Racecourse by the Japan Racing Association (JRA). It is a graded international G1 race with participation limited to 2-year-old colts and fillies, and geldings are not eligible to compete.

Established in 1949, the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes initially served as the championship race for the former 3-year-olds (now 2-year-olds) in the Kanto region and took place at the Nakayama Racecourse. At that time, the race was known as the "Asahi Hai 3-Year-Old Stakes." Until 2013, it was held at the Nakayama Racecourse, and from 2014 onwards, the event has been hosted at the Hanshin Racecourse.

Racecourse Feature

The race starts from a pocket extended from the second corner on the backstretch, with a 712-meter run to the third corner (on the A Course). There is a 4.3-meter uphill climb leading to the third corner, followed by a steep downhill run into the fourth corner. Though the corners are more gradual compared to the inner course, the slope is sharp. The final straight is flat and measures 404 meters (A Course).
