What is JBIS?
JBIS(Japan Bloodstock Information System) began operation in 1987 with the aim of contributing to the upgrading of Japanese bloodstock.
 
JBIS is a database supported by information provided by the Japan Racing Association, the National Association for Racing, the Japan Race Horse Registry and the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders' Association. JBIS is the largest database of its kind in Japan, providing information that is essential to improving the quality of Japanese breeding. The JBIS database includes registration information in Japan, all race records in Japan and information from around the world (including pedigree and race records) relating to bloodlines of horses imported into Japan, virtually covering all information on horses in Japan.
 
Japanese breeders utilize this database on a day-to-day basis to continually upgrade the quality of Japanese bloodstock. The database also serves as an information source for racing fans through the Internet and contributes to the development of racing as a popular sport in Japan.
Information Sources
All information stored in the JBIS database has been provided from official sources, and all associations providing information have done so in agreement with the philosophy behind JBIS and its database.
 
The associations contributing data fully support JBIS and continually provide the JBIS database with necessary information from throughout Japan. (Foreign data is obtained from The Jockey Club Information Systems.)

Information provided by JBIS
The JBIS database contains the following bloodstock information:
· Breeding, registration and race records of Japanese-bred horses
· Information on foreign horses necessary for inclusion in catalogue-style pedigrees of Japanese-bred horses, namely registration and race records of foreign horses that appear on catalogue-style pedigree reports of Japanese-bred horses.
JBIS provides the above information for the following purposes:
· To offer registration and race records of Japanese-bred horses to those interested in Japanese-bred horses.
· To offer Japanese breeding records and statistics on breeding stock in Japan.
Accordingly, JBIS doe s not provide the following information:
· Registration records and foreign race records of horses not imported to Japan
(For horses that have raced in Japan, their race record in Japan only will be provided.)
· Race records and breeding records of stallions and broodmares not imported to Japan
· Previous foreign breeding records of imported stallions or broodmares before their import to Japan
Because the above information is not directly related to Japanese-bred horses, it is not possible to search for horses or order reports relating to such information through JBIS.
The following information is also not available through JBIS.
· Odds for races in Japan
· Tips for races in Japan
