Wikipedia definition
2. Ban'eiis a form of horse racing, unique to the Tokachi area of Hokkaido, Japan. Powerfully-built horses compete by pulling heavily-weighted sleds up sand ramps while being urged on by jockeys sitting on top of the sleds. The horses used in the races are Percheron, Breton, and Belgian breeds. Formerly held in a number of places, ban'ei races are now only held at the Obihiro Racecourse.
