It was first run in 1999 and is the Japanese equivalent of the American Kentucky Derby. But this race is the last leg of triple crown of minami-kanto keiba (nankan keiba), while Kentucky Derby is the first one of American triple crown races.

The majority of winners comes from the Japan Racing Association (JRA), another Japan horse racing governing body. As JRA do not host any dirt Grade 1 race exclusively for 3-year old horses. It is also the only 3-year old Grade 1 race in Japan that Geldings can enter.

gollark: I mostly just minify, which is designed to shorten the code but does obfuscate well.
gollark: Actually, it's just various other libraries minified together with a teeny bit of unreadable minified code which actually runs which I edit in minified form at the end.
