The Colin Stephen Quality is a handicap race over 2400m and typically attracts horses who previously may have contested the Gr3 Premier's Cup at Rosehill or the Gr3 Newcastle Gold Cup at Newcastle.
This race is the ideal lead up to the Gr1 The Metropolitan (2400m) held one week later over the same course and distance.
In the past few years Railings (2005), Dress Circle (2001), Coco Cobana (2000), Vita Man (1999), In Joyment (1998), Heart Ruler (1997) and Hula Flight (1996) all won this race and then took out The Metropolitan the next week.
The Colin Stephen Quality has been a top recent guide to the major staying race of the Randwick racing carnival on Epsom Handicap day.
Winners of the Colin Stephen Quality in recent years include Get Up Jude (2008), Exinite (2006) and Railings in2005.
