Ming Dynasty Quality Tips
Solid Ming Dynasty Quality tips include looking for Group 1 graduates from the autumn, three-year-olds with winning Sydney form in similar company and proven 1400m performers over that middle-distance range.
2025 Ming Dynasty Quality Tips
Our Ladbrokes’ exclusive Ming Dynasty Quality betting tips for 2025 will be detailed below listing the three-year-olds to back and sack in the Group 3 event this season so stay tuned.
To Win: #2 Grand Prairie ($6.50 at time of publish)
Sure, AUTUMN BOY might come out and blow them away to stay unbeaten, but the value lies with GRAND PRAIRIE (8), who brings a fitness edge and was our tip in the Ming Dynasty. The Peter Snowden-trained colt by Written Tycoon is starting to attract deserved market attention after a narrow win over Fermoy in the Group 3 Up & Coming Stakes (1300m), boosting his strong Rosehill record (3:1-2-0). That race has proven a launching pad for emerging talent, and he arrives rock-hard fit after a solid campaign.
With early scratchings, he moves into barrier 8 and gets the services of Kerrin McEvoy, another positive. GRAND PRAIRIE is trending the right way, well-placed, and ready to strike again. A genuine winning chance.

The Ming Dynasty Quality was previously held on San Domenico Stakes Day in August, but from 2022 now runs on the Run To The Rose Day card in Sydney. It is one of four Group status races on the card along with the: Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes (1300m), Group 2 Sheraco Stakes (1200m), and the Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m) which is another good Golden Rose lead-up.
The race is named in honour of dual Caulfield Cup hero Ming Dynasty (1977, 1980).
Three-year-olds in the Ming Dynasty Quality field are often heading towards tougher events for their age group over the spring including the Group 1 $1 million Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) back at the track in September and the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) in Melbourne each October.
Golden Mile (2022), Lonhro (2001), and Kenwood Melody (1998) are the last horses to complete the Ming Dynasty Quality – Caulfield Guineas double.
In 2023 the Ming Dynasty winner Encap ran second next-up in the Golden Rose Stakes results.
Many nice horses have won the Ming Dynasty Quality over the years including subsequent star stallion Lonhro (2001), the ill-fated Lion Tamer (2010), and Quick Thinker (2019) who won the following year’s Group 1 ATC Derby.
In 2024 Lady Shenandoah won the Ming Dynasty and continued on to salute in her next four races including a next-up Group 1 Flight Stakes victory and completing the 2025 Surround Stakes – Coolmore Classic double the following autumn.

Ming Dynasty Quality Field
The Ming Dynasty Quality race field attracts a class line-up of the season’s most exciting young middle-distance horses, many of which contested Group 1 events as juveniles such as the Golden Slipper Stakes at the same track over the autumn.
Most three-year-olds are racing in the event first-up and are heading towards upcoming events including the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) or longer-distanced events including Melbourne’s Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m). Lion Tamer (2010) was the last horse to do the Ming Dynasty Quality – Victoria Derby double.
The Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes (1300m) makes a nice lead-up into the Ming Dynasty Quality field. Holyfield (6th in 2020), Coastwatch (2nd in 2021), Golden Mile (2nd in 2022), Encap (3rd in 2023) and Sixties (5th in 2025) are the latest Ming Dynasty winners to come out of that race.
