The Sakitama Hai (Japanese さきたま杯), is a Domestic Grade 1 horse race for thoroughbred horses aged three and over, run in June over a distance of 1,400 meters on dirt at Urawa Racecourse.

The race was first run in 1997 as a Domestic Grade 3 for thoroughbred horses aged three and over, until in 2005 when the age requirement was changed to horses aged four and over. In 2011, the race was promoted to Domestic Grade 2 status and has held it until 2023.

Starting in 2024, the race will be promoted to Domestic Grade 1 status in order to promote growth in the dirt sprinting scene.[2] The new age requirement will allow three year olds to enter the race again and the race will be moved to mid-June.[3]
