[Overview]
The Oaks' official name in Japan is Yūshun Himba. The first event was held at Hanshin Racecourse in 1937, and after World War II from 1946 onward it was held at Tokyo Racecourse. It came to be called the "Oaks" starting in 1965. It is the longest race among races held exclusively for fillies and mares in Japan.
Since this race is also one of the classic races, classic registration is required before the race registration two weeks in advance, but it is also possible to enter the race by paying an additional registration fee. It should be noted that the Shuka Sho held in autumn can only be entered by race registration made two weeks prior as usual.
In 1984, the grading system for major races was introduced and it became a G1 race, but even before that, it had been held as one of the "Seven Major Races" or "Eight Major Races," regarded as a prestigious race among the major races.
* Seven Major Races : Oka sho, Japanese Oaks, Satuski sho, Japanese Derby, Kikuka sho, Tenno sho (Spring & Autumn) + Arima Kinen (Eight Major Races)
