Training Farm in Hokkaido |
JRA owns two yearling training farms - Hidaka Yearling Training Farm in Hokkaido and Miyazaki Yearling Training Farm in Kyushu Island - and conduct basic training on about 80 yearlings purchased at various sales until the spring of two years old. The information and training data obtained during this period, as well as improved methods, are passed on broadly to breeders and training farms, and used to improve Japan's horse population. After the research in the basic training period, the horses are sold in the training sales such as the JRA Breeze Up Sale, and then follow-up research is conducted on how they perform as racehorses. As a horseracing organization, the JRA's comprehensive research system involving actual horses is unparalleled anywhere in the world.
