Racing career

Un-raced as a two-year-old, Mr Quickie made his debut on the 25 September 2018 at Murtoa Racecourse, where he finished in second placing.

Mr Quickie then proceeded to win 9 of his next 12 starts, which culminated on 8 June 2019 with his first Group One victory at Eagle Farm in the Queensland Derby. He was backed in from $5.50 to start a $2.80 favourite. He defeated Vow And Declare by just under a length who would later go on that year to win the Melbourne Cup. Mr Quickie had to survive a protest from jockey Damien Oliver on board Vow And Declare, however this was dismissed by stewards.[3]

Mr Quickie's next victory was his second Group One on 10 October 2020 in the Toorak Handicap at Caulfield. Ridden by Jamie Kah, Mr Quickie was a two-length winner at odds of 20/1.[4]

Mr Quickie was retired from racing after suffering a hip injury in 2021.[5]
