The Aoba Sho (Japanese 青葉賞) is a Japanese Grade 2 flat horse race in Japan for three-year-old Thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 2400 metres at Tokyo Racecourse in April.[1]
The Aoba Sho was first run in 1984 and was elevated to Grade 3 status in 1994 before being promoted to Grade 2 in 2001. It serves as a trial race for the Tokyo Yushun, with the winner and second place each awarded a slot for the race.[2]
Among the winners of the race have been Symboli Kris S, Zenno Rob Roy and Fenomeno.
