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, offers $250,000 in total prize money as of 2023, 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 and Group 3 Premier’s Cup (2000m).
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 $10 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 next edition of the Toy Show Quality runs on Saturday, August 24, 2024 as part of Winx Stakes Day in Sydney.
