As one of the bigger middle distance races in the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival, the A.D. Hollindale Stakes is a Group 2 weight-for-age race held at the Gold Coast Racecourse* in early to mid May.

*In 2023 the AD Hollindale Stakes Day program ran at the Sunshine Coast Racecourse. 

This is one of the biggest events run on the Gold Coast aside from January’s Magic Millions races and is run over 1800m.

Each year the A.D. Hollindale Stakes field attracts a good group of staying type horses that are Brisbane bound in a fortnight’s time eyeing the bigger prize money on offer in the Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m).

The A.D. Hollindale Stakes – Doomben Cup double is a popular one with the punters each winter and the latest to complete the double were Streama in 2014 and Zaaki.

The 2021 AD Hollindale Stakes winner Zaaki further franked the form winning that winter’s Group 2 $1.2 million The Q22 (2200m). He also won two Group 1 races in Melbourne over the spring in 2021 and also returned the following autumn to claim the 2022 $5 million The All-Star Mile (1600m).

Zaaki returned in 2022 to successfully defend his title and become the first back-to-back AD Hollindale Stakes winner since Leebaz (2015-16) before a third in that year’s Doomben Cup results. Zaaki would also go on to run top three in a host of interstate Group 1 events over the following year and win that 2022 VRC Champions Stakes with a successful title defence in the Melbourne Cup Carnival event in November.

Zaaki made history in 2023 when winning the A.D. Hollindale Stakes, held that year at the Sunshine Coast, for a record third straight year.

The 2023 Hollindale Stakes also produced that year’s Doomben Cup winner with Huetor improving on a lead-up second in the Group 2 to claim the big prize in Brisbane at his next start.

Prize money for the AD Hollindale Stakes was boosted to $500,000 in 2021 after the 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID-19.

The AD Hollindale Stakes 2024 runs on Saturday May 11, 2024 at the Gold Coast for Doomben Cup-bound horses.
