The Takamatsunomiya Kinen (高松宮記念) is a Grade 1 flat horse race in Japan for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1200 metres (approximately 6 furlongs) at Chukyo Racecourse in late March. The forerunner of this race was the Chukyo Daishoten (中京大賞典). It was started as the Takamatsunomiya Hai (高松宮杯) when the victory cup was designed by Prince Takamatsu in 1971 and was given Domestic Grade 2 status when race grading was introduced to Japan in 1984.
