The Hyacinth Stakes is an international listed flat horse race in Japan open to three-year-old horses. It is run at Tokyo Racecourse over a distance of 1,600 meters.
The race was first run in 1969 as an open race for two year as the Hyacinth Tokubetsu,[1] before becoming the Hyacinth Sho in 1970. The race became an open race in 1989, when it was changed to a turf race over a distance of 1,400 meters, before returning to dirt race in 1997, where the distance was extended to the current 1,600 meters, except for 2003 when it was held at Nakayama Racecourse over a course of 1,800 meters. In 2017, the race began to be included as part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series.[2][3]
