Turf Track of Tokyo Racecourse-Frankie Dettori, three times Japan Cup winning Jockey
Characteristics - safe & well-maintained ①Even (Flat) track with few undulations (only 2.7m difference) (See p.5)

②The grass used is Noshiba grass, a
local variety, with Italian Ryegrassoverseeding, or, ryegrass planted
ItalianRyegrassover Noshiba grass in autumn/winter Noshiba Grass(Local Variety)season to add cushion and color.
The mowing height of the grass isover 12 cm. Noshiba grass has
Stolonsstolons growing in horizontal
Fig.1
direction and upright stems
connected to the stolons which makes the turf track durable to damages (Fig.1). It is also
strip resistant, with a good grip which makes it easier for the horses to run with speed.
Further, due to frequent rainfalls in Japan, the base is made from gravel and crushed rocks
with extremely well drainage to maintain best track
condition (Fig.2).

In recent days, aeration of the turf track is being held bymachines such as Verti Drain (Fig.4) and shock waves(Fig.5) in order to improve and add more cushion to theturf. Turf track is softer, with better cushion compared to
track condition back in the 1990’s (Fig.6). With theseproper maintenance of the turf track, it not only provides
fair and safe condition to the horses and jockeys but alsoenables horses to display the best of their ability and tominimize accidents during the race.

Horsemen’s Information(As of January 2021, Japan Racing Association)


SELECTION OF RUNNERS
Entries and participations in the JRA races are subject to the JRA Rules of Racing. Candidate
horses for the race will be assessed on their relative merits by the JRA Selection Committee.
The JRA has the sole authority and discretion in determining the selection, and the decision of
the JRA shall be final. The confirmation of intention to participate and the ability of the horse tomeet the schedule of timing necessary for pre-race quarantine will be considered for the selection.
The JRA reserves the right to make additional selection from horses which can complete thenecessary formalities and logistics in time to participate in the race.

CONDUCT OF RACING
1. Declaration to Run

Trainers are required to declare their horses to run at the prescribed time for each race. It isessential that any special equipment to be carried by the horse is also declared on the declaration
form. If a horse is to run with blinkers, a declaration that it is to do so must be made. When ahorse has been declared to run with blinkers, they shall be worn, and when no declaration ofblinkers, they must not be worn by the horse during the race.
Some equipment may not be allowed to be used without prior permission and therefore, pleasecontact JRA stewards in advance.

2. Scratches

Scratches in JRA racing, which are solely based on the opinion of the Owner or Trainer, forreasons of weather, or change in track conditions are not permitted on or after the deadline fordeclaration.
Scratches are only possible after receiving the approval of the stewards of the meetingthrough the submission of a document certifying to any accident to, or disease of the horse.

3. Licensing

Visiting Trainers and Jockeys are required to attend a licensing interview with the JRA stewards
for the issuance of their license upon his/her arrival. All trainers and jockeys who are granted alicense agree to be bound by the JRA Rules of Racing.

4. Lead Ponies and Assistant Starters (Gate Crews)

Lead ponies are not used and cannot be brought into Japan. JRA does not have any assistant
starters situated inside the starting gate stall in order to keep the horse in check.

5. Starting Gate Loading Procedures

All JRA races use a Starting Gate System. The Starting Gate is a movable set of stalls with gatesthat open simultaneously at the start of the race.Prior to running in races conducted by the JRA,
only horses which passed a gate test prior to the final declaration are able to run in the race.
During the gate test, the starter will check the necessary loading procedures for a minimum twice,
and a horse needs to be approved by the starter as being capable of loading, standing still andleaving (jumping out of) the stalls. Trainers are required to inform the JRA after the preliminary
nomination if the horse has any unruly or specific behavior at the start. However, no specialloading request will be permitted apart from request to load the horse first for efficient loading.
Loading will take place under the direction of the starters. As a general rule, horses with odd
numbers in the draw will be loaded first, followed by those with even numbers, and the horse withthe highest number in the draw will be loaded last no matter whether the number is odd or even.
This procedure is taken for the safety of horses and people concerned, for speedy and efficientloading to start the race.
However, horses with blindfolds or those horses with bad records at loading may be loaded firstno matter whether the draw is odd or even. Should there be an unruly horse with the highest
number, the starter may decide to load the horse with the second highest number draw last.
22

6. Matters to be noted in Relation to Jockeysa) The Jockeys to ride in the JRA races must enter and stay in the Jockey’s Quarter at the
racecourse designated by the JRA by 9:00 PM on the previous day of that race meeting day.
(For the Japan Cup, the Jockeys must stay at accommodation facilities designated by the JRAfrom 9:00 PM on the previous day of the race.) This is done to uphold the integrity of racing.
b) A Jockey must ride in a race carrying the officially announced weight. The safety vest is
mandatory and 1.0 kg allowance will be applicable. For example, if the announced weight is
57.0 kg, the Jockey has to ride the horse at the weight of 58.0 kg.
c) A jockey must ride in a race with the safety vest and helmet approved by the Steward of the
Meeting.
d) The JRA may require the random selection of several Jockeys on race day to take and passa urine test for prohibited substances (stimulant drugs, marijuana, narcotics, psychotropic
drugs, ș2 stimulant,ș2 blocker and diuretics etc.) or a breath test for alcohol.
e) Only padded whips whose pad is longer than 17cm and width is no fewer than 2cm nor morethan 4cm can be used in Race. Also a whip which is 77 cm (approximately 30 inches) or longer
is prohibited from being used in races.

b) All visiting horse connections (Owners, Trainers, Assistant Trainers, Travelling Head
Lads, Exercise Riders and Grooms) are strongly recommended to arrange their own
insurance to cover travel, work, non-work injury and illness.

arrival in Japan, feed or feed additives, must be cleared by the Plant and Animal Quarantine
Department and Customs. Please be noted that it may take time to go through these procedures.
Therefore, if your horse must have feed or feed additives that cannot be replaced by the JRA
provisions mentioned in” List of Feed Available in Japan ” on page 32, please contact the JRA
Representative Office as far in advance as possible. Please note that if you fail to notify our office
as far in advance as possible, you may not be able to use your feed or feed additives immediately
after arrival.

5. Physico-Chemical Test

A) Pre-race testing
Pre-race testing will be conducted twice. The first pre-race testing will be held upon arrival in
Japan and the second testing will be five (5) days prior to the race day. Both blood and urine
samples will be taken for analysis for the first pre-race testing, and for the second pre-race testing,
only urine sample will be taken. However, should any prohibited and/or restricted substances ordrugs be detected, the JRA reserves the right to conduct additional testing. The horse will bewithdrawn from the race if the final sample reported positive to any prohibited substances.
Further, even if the pre-race testing reported negative to any prohibited substances, this does
not ensure that the horse will be reported negative in the post-race testing.
B) Post-race testing
Physico-chemical tests are conducted on horses that finish first through third in the race, andany horse designated by the stewards of the meeting, under the Rules of Racing of the JRA.
The horses concerned must submit urine or/and blood sample after the race. The collected
samples will be divided into two samples, and Physico-chemical test will be conducted at theLaboratory of Racing Chemistry, on sample A. Should the existence of a prohibited drug or
medication be detected, sample B will then be tested automatically at the same Laboratory, inthe presence of the non-partisan designated witnesses, who have knowledge of the field of
Physico-chemical testing. No notice will be given to the connections of the horse at this time. No
person other than these witnesses can be present at the retest procedure. If the presence of thesame prohibited drugs or medication is detected in both samples A and B, it will be considered
as a violation of the drug and medical regulations. The horse concerned will be disqualified andsuspended from running in a race for a fixed period. The connections of the horse will not be
entitled to receive any prizes, or prize money. The horse connections concerned may be charged
under Article 31 of the Horse Racing Law and will be penalized in accordance to Paragraphs
123, 131, 138, and 140 of the JRA Rules of Racing.

QUARANTINE PROCEDURES
The Animal Health Requirements may have changed. Please ask your country's government for
details.
All quarantine procedures are based on the special animal health protocols agreed upon
between the government authorities of each country and the Japanese Government. Import isthereby under the conditions that the horse will be temporarily imported to Japan to run in a race
and will immediately undergo export quarantine after the race.
Under the quarantine conditions applied to overseas trained horses, the Government mandates
that the period of stay of a horse in Japan shall be 60 days or less (from the day of release fromimport quarantine up to the day before export quarantine).
The following quarantine procedures will take place:a) Upon arrival at the international airport, horses must be immediately transported to the
Quarantine Center.Japanese Government quarantine officers carry out individual quarantine
procedures for the participating horses. However, horses arriving on the same plane will
normally be tested together.
b) The import quarantine period is a minimum of seven days (arrival and departure date to andfrom the quarantine is included in the quarantine period). Transportation to the Racecourse isallowed only after the completion of import quarantine. It is necessary to clear all the tests
that are required by the Japanese Government during the quarantine period.
