Ming Dynasty Quality 2026 Results

The official 2026 Ming Dynasty Quality results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday, September 12, 2026.

Persian Wonder ($19) announced himself as one of the major early‑spring movers at Rosehill on Saturday, producing a booming finish to claim the 2026 Ming Dynasty Quality results and spark a big shift in Spring Champion Stakes odds — firming from $26 into $11. The David Payne‑trained gelding was superb late, with Ash Morgan timing the run perfectly to overhaul Stormy Marco and Tenenbaum in 1:22.89. Payne was left shaking his head at the generous quote, again labelling the laid‑back Kiwi‑bred three‑year‑old a “big, dumb bugger” with a serious motor and sectionals that had long hinted at a breakout once he found the right race shape. Payne confirmed the Gloaming Stakes and Spring Champion Stakes are locked in as the next targets, confident the gelding will handle the rise to 2000m and continue improving through the Sydney spring.

The Metropolitan 2026 Betting Tips, Predictions & Favourites

2 Oct • Darren Cole

We have The Metropolitan tips and predictions for the Group 2 2400m race at Randwick on Saturday. The Metropolitan odds have Aethelwulf as the favourite, but the bubble might burst in a tough race. It pays to respect a former European galloper making his way in Australia, and The Euphrates proved his quality with an impressive win at Randwick last time out. He controlled the race from the front and was able to dash clear late, holding off Juja Kibo and Soul of Spain. That performance gives him a strong reference point heading into the Metrop. From barrier 1, Tim…

The Ming Dynasty Quality is a Group 3 handicap race held at Rosehill Gardens in mid-September as part of Sydney’s Run To The Rose Day card.

A key meeting held during the early stages of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival, the other feature races on the card include the: Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m), Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes (1300m) and the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes (1200m).

Run over 1400m and offering $250,000 in prize money, the event is a quality handicap race open only to three-year-olds.

The race is named in honour of Ming Dynasty, a dual Caulfield Cup (1977, 1980) and Australian Cup (1978, 1980) champion.

It has been formerly known as both the D. Drainsfield Quality Handicap (1986-1992) and the Laing & Simmons Quality Handicap (1993) before being renamed the Ming Dynasty Quality in 1994.

The event gained Group 3 status in 2013 and serves as a potential lead-up to bigger races over the spring including the Group 1 $1 million Golden Rose (1400m). In 2021 the Ming Dynasty Quality winner Coastwatch ran third in that year’s Golden Rose Stakes results.

The Ming Dynasty Quality also serves as a potential lead-up into Melbourne’s Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m). Golden Mile (2022) was the last horse to complete the Ming Dynasty – Caulfield Guineas double. 

The 2024 Ming Dynasty Quality winner Lady Shenandoah firmly franked the form taking out her next four races on the trot including the Group 1 Flight Stakes and the 2025 Surround Stakes – Coolmore Classic double the following autumn.

In 2025 the Ming Dynasty form was franked by the second placed Autumn Boy who improved off his runner-up finish to claim the interstate Caulfield Guineas / Rosehill Guineas double. He also rounded out both the Randwick Guineas and Doncaster Mile quinellas that year.
