As things are starting to heat up for the 88th Japan National Horserace Derby which is due to be held on 30 May 2021, Japan Racing Association and Umaibo are getting spectators pumped for the show with the second part of their collaboration campaign.

The first half of the campaign, which ran for 8 days from May 12, saw a total of 800 people take part in a special lottery on twitter in order to win a set of 530 derby edition Umaibo sticks.

This time, the campaign will see a total of 88 people presented with an Umaibo x Derby body pillow and Umaibo x Derby pyjamas, so that they can enjoy the derby event from home.
