Japanese term or phrase: ＧＩ戦

How does this horse race/gambling translate to English? If the character following "GI" is not visible, it's the kanji for "tatakau".

Thanks.

Linda

English translation:GI race

Explanation:
I think GI stands for grade I.

ダートグレード競走（だーとぐれーどきょうそう）とは、ダート競走の活性化を図って1996年に日本中央競馬会（JRA）、地方競馬全国協会（NAR）、全国公営競馬主催者協議会（全主協）の3者によって発足された「ダートグレード競走格付け委員会」によって地方競馬や中央競馬のダート交流重賞競走に、GI～GIIIの格付けを行ったものである。

Grade One Race

Explanation:
(I entirely agree with Mikiko-san. This is just to add some illustration to help the asker understand the term more easily.)

Horse races of importance are classified as “Graded Races.” And the Grades are further broken down to G1, G2 and G3 races in the order of importance, with the winner of a G1 race getting the highest award. According to JRA (Japan Racing Association), the system was first introduced in Japan in 1984. 戦 therefore stands for Race/races.

(Credit should be given to Mikiko-san, if Linda picks up “Grade 1 Race” as her first choice.)
