In Japan,local government,a part of prefectures also take place the races.
Interchange races,between Japan Racing horses and local government horses,are held.Especially,many fans looking forward to seeing Japanese limited group races which we usually call"dirt grade race."As most of"dirt grade race" aren't international races,I write"Japanese limited group race."
