\"Doomben<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Run over 2,000 metres, the Doomben Cup is a Group 1 race taking place at Doomben Racecourse during May as part of the popular Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival. With a $1,000,000 prize purse, the weight-for-age showdown attracts a quality field each year and has been won by plenty of quality horses since its inauguration in 1933. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gold Coast’s Group 2 A.D. Hollindale Stakes<\/a> (1800m) held a fortnight prior is the key form race to follow into the Doomben Cup results and classy mare Streama (2014), runaway seven-length champion of the latter Zaaki (2021), and new track record holder Antino (2025) are the latest to do the double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zaaki returned in 2022 having won the Hollindale for the second time but only managed to run third in the Doomben Cup trifecta as the beaten $1.24 favourite behind Huetor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zaaki won the Hollindale for the third time in 2023 and jumped favourite in that winter’s Doomben Cup but eventually ran seventh to Huetor who went back-to-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best out of the Doomben Cup field are likely to target a run on Stradbroke Handicap Day in the new-look $1.2 million Group 2 The Q22<\/strong> <\/a>(2200m). Zaaki would also go on to win The Q22 in 2022 completing the Hollindale – Doomben Cup – The Q22 treble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 1933 to 1979, the race was run as a Principal Race. Ever since 1980, it has held and maintained Group 1 status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kovalica turned his Doomben Cup third into proper form when he stepped out next start and nailed The Q22, giving the 2025 edition a serious boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
