[2] Tokyo Racecourse hosts numerous G1 (Grade 1) races, including the Japan Cup, Tokyo Yushun (the Japanese Derby) and the Yasuda Kinen, a part of the Asian Mile Challenge.

The course was renovated in 2007 (started in 2000), adding the world's largest video screen and upgrading a grandstand, named the Fuji View Stand, which in today is the main grandstand of the course.

All races have a US style gate run distance of approximately 5 metres, before official timing begins.

In 2009 Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri took the world's largest title with an 84-foot (26 m) by 104-foot (32 m) is 8,736-square-foot (811.6 m2) screen.
