Toy Show Quality 2021

Ladbrokes Tip: The Toy Show Quality serves as a solid guide for the Golden Pendant each spring.

The Group 3 Toy Show Quality is a 1100m sprint showdown for horses at Royal Randwick Racecourse in August each Sydney Spring Racing Carnival. The race is a quality handicap event open only to fillies and mares and offers $160,000 in total prize money and was upgraded from a Listed race in 2013.

The event runs as one of the key support races on Winx Stakes Day, which is headlined by the Group 1 Winx Stakes – formerly the Warwick Stakes and also features the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes as well as the Group 3 Show County Quality.

First run in 1995, the Toy Show Quality is named in honour of former champion filly Toy Show who won the 1975 Golden Slipper as a juvenile, the Thousand Guineas as a three-year-old as well as the 1976 Newmarket Handicap.

Plenty of top female gallopers have won the race including Red Tracer (2011) and Mizzy (2019).

The Toy Show Quality serves as a strong lead-up into upcoming spring features including the Group 2 Golden Pendant (1400m) held the following month and Mizzy (2019) was the last to do the double.

Any four-year-old mares that contest the Toy Show Quality may also have the lucrative $7.5 million Golden Eagle in their sights, a November feature at Rosehill that Mizzy ran third in as a 40/1 outsider following her 2019 Toy Show win.

The latest edition of the Toy Show Quality ran on Saturday August 21, 2021 and saw Fituese salute for last year’s winning trainer John Thompson.

Going for a bit of value with the early favourite scratched. The double-figures on Great News looks attractive. Ultra-consistent Kim Waugh-trained five-year-old is up in grade, but racing so well.
