The Keisei Hai Autumn Handicap 2026 is one of Japan’s traditional Grade 3 handicap races for older milers. Run over 1,600 metres on the outer turf course at Nakayama Racecourse, the race serves as an important early-autumn test for horses targeting the major mile races later in the season. First run in 1956, it has held Grade 3 status since 1984 and remains a key fixture on the JRA calendar.

Betting Odds (Race Day)
Unlike major G1 races, odds for most JRA G2 and G3 races are generally released on race day by international bookmakers such as bet365 and 1xBet. These markets are typically offered as fixed odds, and early Ante-Post markets are rarely available.
