Track Notes

Course Summary

Demanding right-handed inner 2000m course where runners climb Hanshin’s hill twice: shortly after the start and again before the finish. Tight turns and the short 356.5m final straight make forward position very important.

Fun Facts

• Kitasan Black won the first G1 edition of the Osaka Hai in 2017.
• Tokai Teio won the 1992 Osaka Hai when it was still a G2.
• The tight inner loop has historically been a tricky layout for Tokyo Derby winners.
• Both Oguri Cap and T. M. Opera O won their first graded race in the Mainichi Hai on this course before the race distance was reduced to 1800m, a fact nodded to in their exchange in Road To The Top.
