Tenno Sho Autumn horse racing odds show two favorites

The final pre-race odds for the 174th Tenno Sho Autumn at Tokyo Racecourse indicate a highly competitive field dominated by two primary contenders. Masquerade Ball is the favorite at 2.4 odds, seeking to become only the fourth horse in history to win consecutive titles. Closely following is Croissant d'Or at 2.5 odds, who aims to secure a fifth G1 victory after winning the Osaka Hai and the Tenno Sho Spring earlier this year.

Regalera holds the third position in the betting at 9.8 odds. Despite having three G1 wins, some observers have noted her lack of victories on left-handed tracks. Other notable competitors include Danon Decile, the 2024 Japanese Derby winner, who is being highlighted by analysts for his consistent performance in G1 races.
