Tramway Quality Handicap

Winners and Past Results.

The Tramway Quality Handicap is an Australian Turf Club Group 3 Australian handicap horse race for 3 year olds and upwards. FREE $200 Bet

It is contested over a distance of 1400 metres and is held annually at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney in September during the Spring Racing Carnival.

Prizemoney for the Tramway Quality Handicap is worth $125,000.

Run on one of the first feature days of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival, the Tramway Quality Handicap is conducted on the same day as the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1400m) and the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes (1600m).

A good guide for the Tramway Quality Handicap is the Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1100m) run at Rosehill Racecourse in late August and the Show County Quality two weeks earlier at the same track as the Show County is raced under the same race conditions, only the Tramway is an extra 200 metres. Bank Robber (2008), Primus (2006) and Sportsman (2003) both won the Show County Quality before winning the Tramway Quality Handicap.

Runners that contest the Tramway Quality Handicap may then race in handicap races such as the Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill, the Group 2 Shannon Stakes (1500m) and the Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m) in early October.

The winner of this race is exempt from a ballot on the Epsom Handicap.

2011 Tramway Quality Handicap

Sincero looks set for the Cox Plate after this performance, with the Stradbroke winner bursting to the lead 200 metres out and showing heaps of fight to hold on even though he tired in the last 50 metres. Secret Admirer was a very fast-finishing second and Thankgodyou'rehere in third.
