How competitive is the Quebec Stakes market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 17 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2019 when the race had an over-round of 110%. The race in 2013 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 125%, whilst on average over the last 17 renewals of the Quebec Stakes, the over-round has been 116%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £116 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2026 Quebec Stakes Trends. See which patterns have occurred over the recent renewals that you may be able to use for the next renewal. We also have a section that looks at the Quebec Stakes Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run Quebec Stakes races over the last 17 renewals:

  1. Dansant (2:01.63) in 2008
  2. Tranquil Tiger (2:02.01) in 2009
  3. Dubai Warrior (2:02.13) in 2019

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 17 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Quebec Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 5 winners. Backing all 13 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +2.04. Remember to use the racing predictions along with the information on this page to find a bet on the 2026 Quebec Stakes.

When looking over the past 17 renewals, a time of 2:01.63 was set by Dansant in 2008, trained by Gerard Butler and ridden by Eddie Ahern, which is the quickest time over that period. The slowest winning time was set in 2014 when Grendisar won in a time of 2:07.29 for trainer Marco Botti, who booked Adam Kirby in the saddle.

What the expert says...
Five of the winners between 2009 & 2024 went on to run in the Winter Derby next time out, with Tranquil Tiger (2009), Dubai Warrior (2019) and Royal Champion (2024) all going on to win that race.
