Training Centres
The JRA operates two training centres both
equipped with modern racehorse hospital facilities and fully

Training Farms

Hokkaido and Miyazaki Yearling Training Farm on Kyushu Island.
Basic training for approximately 80 yearlings

put on the market at various training sales. The information
and data gleaned from the training programs is passed on to the
industry. |
