Quezette Stakes 2026 Results
The official 2026 Quezette Stakes results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday, August 15, 2026.
- #5 Natural Fling
- #8 Scintillation
- #13 Oh Yes She Did
Natural Fling ($2.40F) exploded first‑up at Caulfield, dominating the 2026 Quezette Stakes results and stamping herself as the standout filly of the spring after a four‑length demolition job in slick time. Straight into stride for Damian Lane, the Tony & Calvin McEvoy‑trained Home Affairs filly travelled like a rocket, clearing out from Scintillation and Oh Yes She Did to produce a rating superior to past Quezette stars Sunlight and Bella Nipotina. McEvoy confirmed she’ll now be aimed at elite sprint targets, with the Group 1 Moir Stakes on September 5 firmly on the table before a longer‑range tilt at the Coolmore Stud Stakes. After her Caulfield blitz, Natural Fling has tightened from $9 into $4 and sits clearly on top of the all‑in 2026 Moir Stakes odds at Neds.
