The Japan Racing Association has announced that all JRA graded races will be open to foreign-trained horses starting in 2010.
There are 122 graded races on the flat and 40 other races now open to foreign horses. Until now, domestic races in Japan have not been regarded as international graded races because of their restricted status.
