The G1 Japan Cup will be broadcast on Racing TV to the UK and Ireland for the first time on Sunday, 6:40 a.m. GMT.

A prize-money haul of £2.7 million will be awarded to the winner of the 2400-metre Tokyo cornerstone. Seven Group 1 winners have been entered, including the current Longines World's Best Racehorse Equinox (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), who has won his past five races.

Dr. Kanichi Kusano, general manager of the Japan Racing Association (JRA) London office, said, “We are pleased to announce that the Japan Cup, the feature race of Japanese horse racing, will be broadcast live on Racing TV on Sunday, Nov. 26.

“We look forward to welcoming the best from the UK and Ireland in future editions of the Japan Cup, which are sure to grow even further in quality, as will the experience for the travelling horses, following the opening of our new international stable in 2022.”
