Track Notes

Course Summary

Premier left-handed dirt mile-tier course with a 380m opening straight and two sweeping bends. The layout reduces early traffic but still compresses late runners with a brief 354m final straight. Strong early position or a well-timed mid-race push is key.

Fun Facts

• Transcend was the first winner of the Leopard Stakes after it was inaugurated in 2009, marking his fourth straight dirt win after an attempted switch to Kyoto turf.
• Hokko Tarumae secured his first graded victory in the Leopard Stakes.
• Niigata Dirt 1800m uses a left-handed layout, making it a useful contrast to many right-handed JRA dirt routes.
