Nakayama Himba Stakes


The Nakayama Himba Stakes is a Japanese Grade 3 horse race for Thoroughbred fillies and mares aged four and over, run in March over a distance of 1800 metres on turf at Nakayama Racecourse.
The Nakayama Himba Stakes was first run in 1983 and has held Grade 3 status since 1984 when the grade system was introduced. The race was run at Tokyo Racecourse in 1988 and at Hanshin Racecourse in 2011. In 2006, the route for stakes races for fillies aged four and over was established, and the race became a preliminary race to the newly established Victoria Mile.
