The Arima Kinen (有馬記念) is a Grade I flat horse race in Japan open to Thoroughbreds three-years-old and above and is the world's largest betting horserace.[2] It is run on the fourth Sunday of December each year, over a distance of 2,500 metres (approximately 1 mile and 4+1⁄2 furlongs) at Nakayama Racecourse. It is one of the two "All-Star" races in Japanese horse racing; the other is the Takarazuka Kinen in late June.

The event was first run in 1956, and was initially titled the Nakayama Grand Prix (中山グランプリ). The following year it was renamed in memory of Yoriyasu Arima (1884–1957), chairman of the Japan Racing Association and the founder of the race. The distance was originally set at 2,600 metres, and shortened to the present length, 2,500 metres, in 1966.

The majority of the runners (10 out of 16) in the field are selected by a vote from racing fans, which must be a Japan Racing Association horse. If any horse among the top 10 decides not to participate in the race, the void will be filled by the next available horse until 10 runners are confirmed. The remaining six horses (including National Association of Racing (NAR) and foreign-based horses are determined by the amount of prize money won.

Until 1999 the Arima Kinen was open to Japanese trained horses only. However, the Japan Racing Association introduced a new condition in 2000 which allowed for the participation of a foreign trained horse, if it had won that year's Japan Cup (although no such eligible horse has participated in this race). The Arima Kinen was classed as a Domestic Grade I until 2006. It was then promoted to an International Grade I in 2007. Consequently, it is now possible for more foreign trained horses to compete in the race. The maximum number of these was set at four in 2007, and increased to six for the 2008 running.

History

Yoriyasu Arima, founder of the race(1884 - 1957)

Yoriyasu Arima and "Arima Special Provisions Law"

The General Headquarters of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (GHQ), which occupied Japan after the World War II and exercised indirect rule, viewed the Japan Racing Society[3], the only nationwide organization for horse racing in Japan at the time, as a problematic entity that violated the Anti-Monopoly Law, and ordered its closure.

Following the enactment of the new Horse Racing Law in July 1948, the Japan Racing Society was dissolved, and for a time afterward, horse racing was operated by the Horse Racing Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (state-run horse racing).[4]: 58–59 

In 1951, when Japan's sovereignty was restored with the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty, the "theory of privatizing horse racing" became active, leading to the establishment of the Japan Racing Association in 1954, a privately run (supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry) horse racing organization.[4]: 64-66 

However, due to the high deduction rate set in the name of contributing to the national treasury, spectators turned to new public gambling activities such as local horse racing and bicycle racing,[5] and the sales of the first race held after privatization did not reach the target amount, indicating that its operation faced many difficulties.[4]: 58-59 

The first chairman of the Japan Racing Association was Izaemon Yasuda, the founder of the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) in 1932, who had been working to promote horse racing since the Russo-Japanese War and was known as the "Old Man of Horse Racing." However, after a conflict with Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ichirō Kōno, he resigned on March 11, 1955.[6]: 27  On April 4 of the same year, Yoriyasu Arima, who had served as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry in the First Konoe Cabinet but was "a complete novice when it came to horse racing," became the second chairman.[4]: 58-59 

During the era of state-run horse racing, large-scale renovations could not be carried out due to budget constraints. In particular, the grandstand at Nakayama Racecourse was in a dilapidated and dangerous state, but the Japan Racing Association at the time did not have the funds to renovate it.[4]: 58-59 

Therefore, Arima, who became the chairman, lobbied Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ichirō Kōno and other government officials to pass the "Law Concerning Temporary Special Provisions for National Treasury Payments, etc., of the Japan Racing Association" (the so-called "Arima Special Provisions Law"), which stipulated that "until December 31, 1960, the Japan Racing Association may use the profits obtained from temporary horse racing events held with the permission of the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry to renovate government-designated buildings, and shall not be obligated to pay a portion of the profits to the national treasury."[4]: 58-59 [6]: 28 

Then, on January 1, 1956, the main grandstand at Nakayama Racecourse became the first "structure designated by government ordinance" to which this law applied.[4]: 58-59 [6]: 28  After an eight-day temporary race meeting was held at Nakayama under a special law on March 22, the first phase of construction,[4]: 139-140  including the construction of the new grandstand, was completed on October 13.[4]: 69-72 

Establishment of "Nakayama Grand Prix" and rename to "Arima Kinen"

Until 1955, the Nakayama Daishogai was the biggest attraction at Nakayama Racecourse at the end of the year. However, it lacked the glamour of races like the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby).[7]

Yoriyasu Arima, the chairman of the Japan Racing Association at the time, was also known for his deep knowledge of sports and had previously owned the professional baseball team Tokyo Senators before the World War II.

In 1956, with the completion of the new grandstand at Nakayama Racecourse, Arima conceived the idea of creating a major race at the end of the year that would rival the Japanese Derby, and to liven up the newly renovated Nakayama Racecourse, he drew inspiration from the All-Star Game of professional baseball, in which he had been deeply involved,[4]: 69-72  and proposed the All-Star Race for Japan Racing Association, a race in which the participating horses would be selected by popular vote to please the horse racing fans.[8]

At the time, the Nakayama Racecourse hosted two major races: the Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) and the Nakayama Daishogai. However, compared to Tokyo Racecourse, another major racecourse in the Kanto region, which hosted prestigious races such as the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), Tenno Sho (Autumn), and Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks), there was a perception among those involved with Nakayama Racecourse that its prestige was inferior. Therefore, this proposal was well-received. Furthermore, this race was designed to be a championship race for Japan, pitting three-year-old horses that had completed the classic races against horses that had competed in the Tenno Sho (Autumn), the ultimate goal for older horses (four years and older).[5]

A unique system for selecting participating horses through fan voting was adopted, and the race was established in 1956 under the name "Nakayama Grand Prix."[9]

The first Nakayama Grand Prix was held on December 23, 1956, at the newly renovated Nakayama Racecourse. Of the 12 horses that participated, three were winners of the Tenno Sho and four were winners of classic races, bringing together the strongest horses of the time. In an era when 10,000 spectators was considered a large turnout at Nakayama Racecourse, the event was a great success with 27,801 attendees.[5] Meiji Hikari (who was inducted into the Japan Racing Association Hall of Fame in 1990), winner of the 1955 Kikuka Sho and the 1956 Tenno Sho (Spring), lived up to his status as the favorite, winning convincingly by a margin of 3+1⁄2 lengths in a time of 2:43.2,[10] which was the Japanese record at the time for the 2,600 metres turf race.[10][11]

However, just 17 days after the highly successful first Nakayama Grand Prix, on January 9, 1957, the founder, Arima, suddenly passed away at the age of 72 due to acute pneumonia. As a result, from the second race onwards, the race was renamed "Arima Kinen (the XXth Grand Prix)" in honor of Arima's achievements. [9] Since then, it has become established as the race that concludes the year in Japanese horse racing. The venue has remained Nakayama Racecourse since its establishment, and the timing of the race has also remained fixed in late December.[7]

The Arima Kinen has become one of the cornerstone races in Japanese horse racing,[9] boasting the highest sales of betting tickets in Japan.[5] In 1996, it was recognized by the Guinness World Records for generating 87.5 billion yen in sales, the highest amount ever for a horse race worldwide,[12] and is recognized not only in the horse racing world but also socially as an iconic seasonal symbol of year-end in Japan.[4]: 69-72

1 In 2004 vote, Zenno Rob Roy was estimated to have received fewer votes than Cosmo Bulk (Deduced from the official result of Internet vote). However, as Cosmo Bulk was not a Japan Racing Association horse (but belonged to Hokkaido Keiba from NAR) all votes cast for him were invalid.
2 Vodka was not allowed to participate in the 2009 race, as she was on a 1-month suspension due to nose bleeding in the Japan Cup.

The TBS Television TV Series Passing the Reins revolves around the main characters aiming to win the Arima Kinen with a horse from Hidaka.[30]

In addition, a number of the races have been portrayed in Umamusume: Pretty Derby in anime and manga by the personifications of the horses who participated in them:

  • The 1988 race, which was Tamamo Cross' retirement race and Oguri Cap's first and only win against Tamamo Cross, is portrayed in Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, which portrays Oguri Cap's racing career, in both manga and "Gray Phantom", the 22nd episode of Season 1 of its anime.[31][32] The Nakayama Racecourse Horse Owners' Association also invited Umamusume's voice actresses for Oguri Cap (Tomoyo Takayanagi), Tamamo Cross (Naomi Ōzora) and Super Creek (Kana Yūki) to attend the 2025 race coinciding with the airing of "Gray Phantom", and the three also participated in the award ceremony.[33]
  • The 1990 race – Oguri Cap's retirement race – is also the final race of the Cinderella Gray manga.
  • The 1993 race, which was Tokai Teio's comeback and ultimately final race after a year injured, is portrayed in "Galloping After Our Dreams", the finale of the second season of the main Umamusume: Pretty Derby anime. The scene also incorporates the actual words of the broadcast call.[34][35]
  • The 2015 race, which was Gold Ship's retirement race, is portrayed in "The Dream Never Ends", the 3rd episode of Season 3 of the main anime.[36]
  • The 2016 race, which featured Satono Diamond winning the race and Kitasan Black coming in second, is portrayed in "Our Arima Kinen", the 7th episode of the same season.[37]
  • The 2017 race, which was Kitasan Black's retirement race, is portrayed in "And Yours...", the 13th episode of the same season.[38]
