Bet on October and November Showdowns at Kyoto Racecourse

There are multiple opportunities to bet on Kyoto Racecourse throughout the year. Many of the high-profile encounters take place in October and November. They include the Shuka Sho and Kikuka Sho. The former is a turf contest over 2,000 metres where three-year-old thoroughbred fillies battle it out for a big prize. It is the third leg of the Triple Tiara after the Oka Sho and Yushun Himba.

The Kikuka Sho is effectively the Japanese St Leger and it's another turf contest. This race takes place over 3,000 metres and it was first contested in 1938. Jockey Christophe Lemaire has enjoyed plenty of recent success in this race. He's ridden Durezza, Urban Chic and Energico to victory in consecutive years, with Kyoto Racecourse betting odds available on this well before the race takes place.

There is also the Queen Elizabeth II Cup over 2,200 metres and this race has been in operation since 1976. It's the only Grade One encounter that is for fillies or mares who are aged three or above. We've seen Brede Weg, Stunning Rose and Regaleira in the winners' enclosure and it's always good to get the best possible odds.
