The Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes (朝日杯フューチュリティステークス) is a one mile turf stakes race for thoroughbred colts two years old. It is considered the de facto year-end championship for Japanese thoroughbred racing in the two-year-olds division.
This race had historically been held at the Nakayama Racecourse. From 2014, the race was relocated to the Hanshin Racecourse.[1]
