The Haneda Hai (羽田盃, "Haneda Cup") is a Japanese thoroughbred horse race on dirt track only for three years old. It is graded as a Domestic Grade I. It is run over a distance of 1,800 meters (about 9 furlongs) at Oi Racecourse in Shinagawa, Tokyo in April or May.

History

[edit]

It began in 1955 as the Oi Hai. Its name was changed to Haneda Hai in commemoration of Haneda racecourse which used to be situated next to Shinagawa.[1]

Its distance has been changed several times. It has been run as follows:

  • from its inception until 1966 at 1,800 meters
  • from 1967 to 1995 at 2,000 meters
  • from 1996 to 1998 at 1,800 meters
  • from 1999 to 2001 at 1,600 meters
  • from 2002 to 2003 at 1,790 meters
  • from 2004 onwards at 1,800 meters

Until 2023, this race was the first leg of the South Kanto (Minami-Kanto) triple crown with Tokyo Derby and Japan Dirt Derby and only horses belonging to Minami-Kanto Horseracing can run.[2]
