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 and 2024 the AD Hollindale Stakes Day program ran at the Sunshine Coast Racecourse due to heavy rainfall and ongoing track upgrades at the Gold Coast.
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.
Trainer Annabel Neasham won her fourth straight Hollindale Stakes in 2024 with Numerian saluting in an upset following the three-peat of stablemate Zaaki (2021-23).
The AD Hollindale Stakes 2024 ran on Saturday May 11, 2024 at the Sunshine Coast for Doomben Cup-bound horses and was won in an impressive first-up upset by the Annabel Neasham-trained veteran eight-year-old Numerian ($31).

2024 AD Hollindale Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider A.D. Hollindale Stakes 2024 tips on the popular early winter lead-up in Queensland.
- Each Way: #9 Naval College ($15 at time of publish) – BET NOW
With Annabel Neasham’s stable firing on all cylinders, Naval College is an interesting each-way option in an open edition of the A.D Hollindale at the Sunshine Coast this Saturday. Neasham saddles up a few runners in the race, and this ultra-consistent Dartmouth gelding has a strong chance. The five-year-old recently strung together three impressive victories, including a dominant win by over three lengths in the Listed January Cup (2000m) at Rosehill. He followed that up with another victory in the Australia Day Cup over 2400m at Warwick Farm. After a well-deserved freshen-up, he returns to the track with some solid trial performances under his belt. The drop in distance to 1800m is a slight concern, but considering the freshen-up, it might be just what he needs to surprise some. Drawing the rails and handling Soft going are additional positives. Naval College is a genuine each-way chance with plenty to offer.
2024 AD Hollindale Stakes Field
Each season the AD Hollindale Stakes field attracts a smart line-up of winter gallopers from both Queensland and interstate stables heading towards a Brisbane run in the Doomben Cup.

The official A.D. Hollindale Stakes 2024 field & barriers are released released the Wednesday of race week and will be published in full below.
The 2024 AD Hollindale Stakes final field features a bumper line-up of potential Group 1 Brisbane bound horses led in betting by dual Doomben Cup champ Huetor coming off a big JRA Plate win in Sydney.
