View additional details of the Doomben Cup winners from 2000 to the present including Doomben Cup winning jockeys, trainers and barriers.

Pentheus was the inaugural Doomben Cup winner back in 1933.

Plenty of champion racehorses have won the Doomben Cup throughout history including Bernborough (1946); Bore Head (1967); triple hero Rough Habit (1991-93); the previous year’s Caulfield Cup – Melbourne Cup champion Might And Power (1997); and seven-length champion Zaaki (2021).

Zaaki also holds the Doomben Cup record over the 2000m winning in 2021 in a time of 2 minutes 01:06 seconds.

Kenedna (2019) was the last Doomben Cup winning mare.

The last three-year-old Doomben Cup winner was  Akhenaton (2000).

The 2022 Doomben Cup winner Huetor ($16) enjoyed a notable upset coming up the inside the closing stages to salute for Peter & Paul Snowden, while the beaten odds-on favourite Zaaki failed in his title defence running third.

The Peter & Paul Snowden-trained import Huetor ($10) returned for a successful title defence in the 2023 Doomben Cup results to become just the fourth multiple champion in history.

The 2024 Doomben Cup winner was the Annabel Neasham-trained Bois D’Argent ($26) who narrowly held on in an upset victory for the race’s now dual winning trainer.
