Ashado would be considered to be a bit better than "quality".
Generally if a mare is a stakes winner, or graded stakes placed or has foaled a runner or runners that are the same they would be considered quality in my book.

"Elusive Quality, Smarty Jones' sire, has sired 13 other stakes winners from just two crops to race,
a remarkable feat considering his stud career started at with a modest $10,000 stud fee his first year. The son of Gone West was the leading first-crop sire in North America for 2002, however, his top earner, Elusive City, was later disqualified from a pair of wins and when his earnings were taken out, Elusive Quality fell to third on the list. "
I knew that it was at one point $10k.
