Aspiration Quality News
The Aspiration Quality is a Group 3 mile race for fillies and mares run at Royal Randwick Racecourse on Randwick Guineas Day during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
Contested over 1600m the open quality event for fillies and mares aged three-years-old and above offers $200,000 in prize money as of 2023 and is run on the same day as the Group 1 $1 million Randwick Guineas (1600m).
Other feature races on the Randwick Guineas Day program include the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m), Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m), Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m), Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) and the Group 3 Wenona Girl Quality (1200m).
Runners in the Aspiration Quality field may come off a lead-up autumn run in an easier race and could be eyeing a run in the Group 1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) back at Randwick in April during The Championships. Between the Aspiration Quality and the Queen Of The Turf Stakes many mares also run in the Group 3 Epona Stakes (1900m) at Rosehill.
In 2020 Nettoyer successfully defended her Aspiration Quality title before backing-up to take out the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m).
The 2021 Aspiration Quality form was franked with the runner-up She’s Ideel also finishing second in that year’s Group 1 Tancred Stakes, third in the Group 1 Winx Stakes that spring and second in the 2022 Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes the following year.
The Aspiration Quality 2023 ran at Randwick Racecourse on Saturday March 4, 2023 and was narrowly won by the improving Chris Waller-trained Thalassophile ($7.50).

2023 Aspiration Quality Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Aspiration Quality 2023 Tips on the Randwick Group 3 event this season.
- To Win: #2 Roots ($2.05 at time of publish)
The Waller-trained favourite is at a deservingly short quote and looks the one to beat fitter second-up off a Group 2 Millie Fox third fresh. She gets the run of the race from gate two and J. Mac comes aboard in a huge plus. She has won second-up previously and will appreciate getting out to a mile. Her 1600m record is solid (5:2-1-1) and this looks the right race for her to break through with her maiden Randwick win.

Aspiration Quality History
The Aspiration Quality was inaugurated in 2006 making it one of Sydney’s youngest races. Lord Of The Land (2006) won the first edition and since then quality types including Sacred Choice (2010), Fibrillation (2012) and Heavens Above (2016) have added their names to the Aspiration Quality winners’ list.
Along with Randwick Racecourse the event has also taken place at Sydney’s Warwick Farm Racecourse (2011, 2013). It started as a Listed event but has been run as a Group 3 status race since 2014 and has always been part of the Randwick Guineas Day program.
