The Sakitama Hai (Japanese さきたま杯), is a Domestic Grade 1 horse race for thoroughbred horses aged three and over, run in June over a distance of 1,400 meters on dirt at Urawa Racecourse.
The race was first run in 1997 as a Domestic Grade 3 for thoroughbred horses aged three and over, until in 2005 when the age qualification was changed to horses aged four and over. In 2011, the race was promoted to Domestic Grade 2 status and has held it until 2023.
In order to promote growth in the Japanese dirt sprinting scene, the race was promoted to Domestic Grade 1 status in 2024.[2] The updated age qualification allows three-year-old horses again. The schedule of the race was also moved to mid-June.[3]
