Course Summary

Right-handed medium-distance turf course with a long 472m opening straight and a rolling downhill flow into Kokura’s spiral curves. The flat 293m final stretch turns the finish into a high-speed drag race if runners exit the final bend cleanly.

Fun Facts

• Traditional home of the Kokura Kinen, a major mid-summer G3 handicap.
• The Kokura Kinen was Nice Nature's first graded win.
• Unlike Nakayama or Hanshin, Kokura has no final hill to punish front momentum.
