Japanese Horse Racing: Kikuka Sho and Artemis Stakes Scheduled

Central horse racing in Japan will feature events at Tokyo, Kyoto, and Niigata racecourses. A major highlight is the Kikuka Sho (G1), the final leg of the Triple Crown, held at Kyoto Racecourse on a 3000m turf course. This race serves as a premier test of stamina for three-year-old colts and fillies.

Additionally, the Artemis Stakes (G3) will take place at Tokyo Racecourse. This race is a significant event for two-year-old fillies and serves as a precursor to the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies. The upcoming field includes several notable contenders such as Lis Groire, Pluvinal, and Ho O Prema.

Niigata Racecourse will also host races, marking its final meeting of the year.
