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.
The 2025 Doomben Cup winner was six-year-old Redwood gelding Antino ($3F) for trainer Tony Gollan with Blake Shinn aboard from barrier 10 on 59kg to win by 3.95 lengths in a track record time of 2:00.88.
The 2026 Doomben Cup winner is TBD and will be known when the million-dollar Brisbane winter feature runs at Doomben Racecourse on Saturday May 23.
