One of Japan’s four legal gambling sports, known as ‘public sports competitions’, Keiba, or Horse Racing, has a dedicated following in Japan. While flat racing is the most common, there is also jump racing and the unusual Draft Racing, also known as Ban’ei racing, which involves the jockey riding in a sled pulled by the horse. Whether you’re a keen gambler looking for new territory or enjoy a simple flutter at the races once in a while, the world of horse racing in Japan is worth getting to know.
