Track Notes

Course Summary

Right-handed inner 2200m course requiring more than one lap, with a 500m opening run and two climbs up Hanshin’s steep hill. The compact turns and short final straight reward early tactical positioning.

Fun Facts

• Hosts the Takarazuka Kinen, Japan's fan-voted summer Grand Prix.
• Gold Ship won back-to-back Takarazuka Kinen titles in 2013 and 2014, but his 2015 gate incident on this course became legendary.
• Chrono Genesis and Meisho Tabaru also won back-to-back Takarazuka Kinen titles.
• As with the Arima Kinen, many Takarazuka Kinen runners are selected by fan vote, while the rest of the field is determined by prize-money ranking.
