japan world cup
A fictional horse race 3D CG video series held by The Japan Racing Association since 2010. The videos were created by Mashima Riichirou and Jinni's Animation Studio.
The race itself is presented as a 1600m G1 race on turf held in Tokyo Racecourse (the race is identical in specifications to the Yasuda Kinen). It features a colorful cast of horses and non-horses racing each other in a extremely chaotic fashion. The result of the race is random with all outcomes being recorded in the DVD. This means that even perennial underdog Haribote Elegy has a chance to win.
