Oiwake Farm

Oiwake Farm (追分ファーム, Oiwake F) is a Japanese racehorse breeding and production farm located in Oiwake-Koyo, Abira, Yufutsu District, Hokkaido. It belongs to the Shadai Group, one of the most prominent thoroughbred breeding and racing organizations in Japan, and is the newest farm opened within the group after the death of Yoshida Zenya. The farm was established in name in 1995, with production initially based in Shiraoi and the former Hayakita town, and the actual farm opened in Abira (formerly Oiwake town) in 1996. Its first crop of foals as a farm was born in 1997. Oiwake Farm is characterized by a "small but elite" philosophy, aiming to give individual attention to each horse in both breeding and training. Its greatest goal is to have every produced horse win a race, which it sees as the ultimate form of customer satisfaction. Rather than selling privately, many of its produced horses are offered at select sales or recruited through one-horse owner clubs such as G1 Racing. The farm operates several facilities, including the Oiwake Farm Kasuga branch, Oiwake Farm Releve Valley (a training facility), and related companies G1 Thoroughbred Club, G1 Racing, and OF Holdings. Its representative is Yoshida Haruya. Oiwake Farm has produced numerous top-level racehorses. Its Grade 1 and JpnI winners include Gold Allure (2002 Japan Dirt Derby, Derby Grand Prix, Tokyo Daishoten; 2003 February Stakes), Hat Trick (2005 Mile Championship, Hong Kong Mile), Song of Wind (2006 Kikuka Sho), Reginetta (2008 Oka Sho), Oro Meister (2010 Mile Championship Nambu Hai), Medeia (2013 JBC Ladies' Classic), Fenomeno (2013 and 2014 Tenno Sho Spring), Persian Knight (2017 Mile Championship), Dikteon (2025 Tokyo Daishoten), and Serifos (2022 Mile Championship). The farm also bred many graded stakes winners and has been home to notable stallions, broodmares, and honored horses. Its horses have earned JRA Awards, including Best Sprinter for Hat Trick (2005) and Serifos (2022), and Best Dirt Horse for Gold Allure (2002).
