The Yayoi Sho (Deep Impact Kinen) (弥生賞ディープインパクト記念, Yayoi-shō (Deep Impact Kinen)) is a Japanese Grade 2 flat horse race in Japan for three-year-old Thoroughbred colts and fillies run over a distance of 2,000 metres at the Nakayama Racecourse, Funabashi, Chiba. The race is run in March and serves as a major trial race for the Satsuki Sho.[1] Yayoi means "March" in ancient Japanese calendar.

It was first run in 1964 as the Yayoi Sho (弥生賞, （Yayoi-shō）) . The race was run at Tokyo Racecourse in 1965, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1970 and 1988. Among the winners of the race have been Mr C B, Symboli Rudolf, Special Week, Agnes Tachyon, Deep Impact, Admire Moon and Victoire Pisa.

In October 2019, JRA decided to change the name to Yayoi Sho (Deep Impact Kinen)[2].
