[Overview]
In the race screen of Umamusume, some racecourses have a turf course inside the dirt course, which is used exclusively for steeplechase races. The race that determines the peak of that steeplechase race is held in the spring and at the end of the year.
The Nakayama Grand Jump was renamed in 1999 as a race that invites horses based overseas, in order to distinguish it from the Nakayama Daishogai, which had been held until then, when grading steeplechase races. The invitation system ended in 2010, but it is still a race in which horses based abroad can compete.
A major feature of the Nakayama Racecourse steeplechase course is the banquet with a steep slope for going up and down, and the two obstacles in the central part of the course are exclusive courses used only for the Nakayama Grand Jump and the Nakayama Daishogai. In addition, 4,250 meters is the longest distance among all races held by the JRA. Furthermore, since horses must also overcome a heavy weight of 63 kg, it can be said to be a grueling race.
In recent years, a horse named Oju Chosan, whose father is Stay Gold and whose maternal grandfather is Symboli Kris S, has become a legendary figure by recording a total of six wins in this race, including five consecutive years. The day before the Satsuki Shō, another battle for the top will take place.
