The Keio Hai Spring Cup (Japanese 京王杯スプリングカップ) is a Grade 2 horse race for Thoroughbreds aged four and run in May over a distance of 1,400 metres at Tokyo Racecourse.[1]
It was first run in 1956 over 1600 metres and was later run over 1800 metres before being run over its current distance for the first time in 1981. The race was elevated to Grade 2 class in 1984, and was changed to its current name that year.[2]
This race also serves as a trial to the Yasuda Kinen, particularly since 2014 when the winner of this race would be awarded a slot in the race.[2]
