2026 Toy Show Quality Results

The official Toy Show Quality 2026 results will be available here once the Winx Stakes Day support act is run and won on Saturday, August 22, 2026.

• 1st: No. 6 Prima Bella ($5.50)
• 2nd: No. 8 Stardom
• 3rd: No. 2 Apocalyptic

Winning Margin: 0.17 lengths

Winning Time: 1:02.94

Prima Bella ($5.50) stretched her trademark speed to 1100m and proved too tough in the 2026 Toy Show Quality results at Randwick, the six-year-old Per Incanto mare digging in late to claim the Group 3 by a long head from Stardom, with favourite Apocalyptic third. A prolific short-course winner with seven prior victories at 900–1000m, Prima Bella controlled the race from a positive spot under Kerrin McEvoy, stopping the clock at 1:02.94 with a slick 33.77 final 600m. Trainer Matthew Smith praised McEvoy’s initiative and the mare’s toughness, noting she’d earned her shot at 1100m after strong recent wins at Randwick and Flemington. McEvoy said she travelled sweetly and lifted when asked, rewarding the stable’s patience after a year off earlier in her career. Now an 8-time winner from 15 starts, Prima Bella’s Toy Show Quality triumph confirms her as one of Sydney’s most reliable speed mares heading deeper into the spring.

What Races is the Toy Show Quality a Good Lead-Up For?

Fillies and mares who run in the Toy Show Quality might go on to races such as the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes or the Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes.

Autumn Glow (2025) was the last runner to complete the Toy Show Quality – Theo Marks Stakes double.

The Toy Show Quality also serves as a good lead-up into the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill the following month, a double most recently completed by Mizzy (2019). Mizzy also won that year’s Group 2 Golden Pendant (1400m) before third placings in the Silver Eagle (1300m) and The Golden Eagle (1500m) for four-year-old horses.

In 2020 the Toy Show Quality winner Sweet Deal went on to win Newcastle’s $1 million The Hunter that spring. The 2022 Tow Show Quality form was franked with the winner Zapateo going on to run third in both the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes and Group 1 The Goodwood in Adelaide in 2023. In 2024 the Toy Show winner Kimochi continued onto Melbourne to win that year’s Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.

The 2025 Toy Show Quality form proved one of the standouts in recent history with the winner, Autumn Glow, winning her next six straight starts including the Epsom Handicap and $10 million Golden Eagle.

Toy Show Quality History

The Toy Show Quality was inaugurated in 1995 and originally ran as a listed race. The first edition of the Toy Show Quality was won by Joie Denise. While not a very old race, the Toy Show Quality has developed a decent reputation for providing an entertaining, competitive race with plenty of opportunity to gauge form.

The race is named after champion runner Toy Show, whose trophies include the 1975 Golden Slipper Stakes and the 1976 Thousand Guineas and Newmarket Handicap.

The Toy Show Quality was originally raced over a distance of 1400m. However, a move to Canterbury Park in 2000 saw the race reduced to 1300m for two years. In 2002, it again returned to 1400m, a distance it maintained until 2011. The race distance underwent another change for the 2019 edition being cut to just 1100m. Upgraded to a Group 3 event in 2013, the Toy Show Quality has been hosted by three major Sydney racecourse, Royal Randwick Racecourse, Warwick Farm Racecourse and Canterbury Park.

Notable Toy Show Quality winners include Captivating (1997), Chiming Lass (2000), Illuminates (2010), Red Tracer (2011) and Mizzy (2019).
