The Kyodo Tsushin Hai (Tokinominoru Kinen) (Japanese 共同通信杯, kyōdō tsūshin hai) is a Grade 3 horse race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds run in February over a distance of 1800 metres at Tokyo Racecourse.[1] Officially known as the Kyodo Tsushin Hai, the race is named in honour of the undefeated racehorse Tokino Minoru.[2]

The race was first run in 1967 and was elevated to Grade 3 status in 1984. It was contested at variety of venues but has been run over its current course and distance since 1980. Winners of the race have included Mr C B, Narita Brian, El Condor Pasa, Jungle Pocket, Admire Moon and Gold Ship.

While this race is not officially a trial race for the Satsuki Sho, many horses who won or placed within the top four of this race have gone on to win in classic races, with winners such as Gold Ship, Isla Bonita, and Efforia, as well as Deep Brillante, Duramente, Shahryar, Geoglyph, and Tastiera all coming in within fourth place before going on to win either the Satsuki Sho and/or the Tokyo Yushun. Consequently, this has led to the race being seen as an important race for contenders of classic races.[2][3][4]
