Horse racing has now become very popular in Japan. Recently, I went to the Hanshin Horse Racecourse for the Japan Cup Dirt (G1) race. Because this is one of the major races, there was a huge crowd, 50,000 spectators in front of the main straight. Thoroughbred horses are very beautiful and when galloping, they appear very powerful and graceful. The race itself was very exciting. I think Motorsports and horse racing have a lot in common, so I found it very interesting. Perhaps, because IndyCar racing has some oval circuits, I found common ground. Regarding betting, I started by losing, but I won on the main race! It was very exciting and I enjoyed it very much. If you have a chance, I highly recommend you go to horse races in Japan! [Source]
