Paying a total purse of $250,000 as of 2023, the Ming Dynasty Quality now takes place on Run To The Rose Day as one of four Group status features on the Sydney race card.
Horses that target the Ming Dynasty Quality are likely to have come via races such as the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes (1300m). Encap (3rd in 2023) and Sixties (5th in 2025) are the latest Ming Dynasty Quality winners to come via a lead-up run in the Up And Coming Stakes.
Those runners which have a fairly decent run in the Ming Dynasty Quality could be targeting a Group 1 Sydney Spring Racing Carnival run in the $1 million Golden Rose Stakes over the same distance at Rosehill Gardens.
The 2019 Ming Dynasty Quality winner Quick Thinker went on to win the following year’s Group 1 ATC Derby (2400m).
The 2021 Ming Dynasty Quality form was franked with the winner Coastwatch running third next-up in the Golden Rose Stakes results.
The 2022 Ming Dynasty Quality winner Golden Mile franked the form with a next-up Golden Rose second before wins in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) in Melbourne and Group 2 Callander-Presnell back in Sydney.
In 2023 Encap won the Ming Dynasty before a next-up second in the Golden Rose results. The Ming Dynasty Quality form that year was further franked with the runner-up, Tom Kitten, returning in the autumn of 2024 to also run second in both the Rosehill Guineas and ATC Derby.
The emphatic 2024 Ming Dynasty Quality winner Lady Shenandoah would frank the form with a next-up win in the Group 1 Flight Stakes over the Randwick mile. She then returned in the autumn to win another three straight races including completing the 2025 Group 1 Surround Stakes – Coolmore Classic double.
The 2025 Ming Dynasty Quality ran on Saturday September 13, 2025 at Rosehill on Run To The Rose Day and saw Chris Waller train the first two past the post with Sixties ($7) enjoying a half-length upset over his better fancied stablemate Autumn Boy ($2.60F).Â

Stay tuned for our insider Ming Dynasty Quality 2025 Tips on the important spring lead-up this September.
- To Win: #2 Grand Prairie ($6.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Look, AUTUMN BOY could just come out and blitz them like and remain undefeated, but the value with the fitness edge and my Ming Dynasty tip is GRAND PRAIRIE (8) who is starting to get some deserved love as an early market mover in this event. Peter Snowden’s Written Tycoon colt secured his second career win last time out adding to his nice record here at Rosehill (3:1-2-0) when narrowly accounting for Fermoy in the Group 3 Up & Coming Stakes (1300m). That’s been a good race for budding stars in recent years, and he presents rock-hard fit now having been up for a while. Comes into 8 with the early scratchings and the booking of Kerrin McEvoy is another tick. Can win again.

Ming Dynasty Quality History
The Ming Dynasty Quality was inaugurated in 1986, with Imperial Majesty seizing victory in the first edition. The race is named in honour of champion racehorse Ming Dynasty, who saw phenomenal success, winning the Caulfield Cup in 1977 and 1980, the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Metropolitan Handicap in 1978 and the Australian Cup in 1978 and 1980.
Initially known as the D. Drainsfield Quality Handicap and then the Laing & Simmons Quality Handicap, the Ming Dynasty Quality began to go by its current name in 1994. From its inauguration until 2012 the Ming Dynasty Handicap was classified as a listed race. From 2013 onwards, it has held Group 3 status.
The Ming Dynasty Quality has changed location numerous times, usually accompanying the rest of the events on the Chelmsford Stakes Day race card. Since 1986, the Ming Dynasty Quality Handicap has changed location seven times, and is now run at Rosehill Racecourse. At the outset, the Ming Dynasty Quality was raced over 1600m, however from 1995 onwards it has been a 1400m event.
In 2021 the Ming Dynasty Quality and entire San Domenico Stakes Day card was moved from Rosehill to Kembla Grange Racecourse due to COVID-19.
Notable Ming Dynasty Quality winners include Royal Pardon (1988), Lonhro (2001), Mearas (2006), Lion Tamer (2009), Tatra (2012), Quick Thinker (2019), that year’s subsequent Caulfield Guineas winner Golden Mile (2022), and Lady Shenandoah (2024) who went on to win a host of Group 1 events.
