Windsor Park Plate

The Windsor Park Plate is a New Zealand Thoroughbred horse race run at Hastings Racecourse in Hawke's Bay. The race is registered as the Horlicks Plate. It is run over a distance of 1600m in late September.

The current race sponsor is the Windsor Park Stud.

It is the second of the Hawkes Bay Triple Crown of Group 1 weight-for-age races. The others are:

• the 1400m Challenge Stakes currently known as the Tarzino Trophy, and
• the 2040m Spring Classic.

A major supporting race run on the same day is the Gold Trail Stakes (currently the Windsor Park Stud and Hawke's Bay Breeders Gold Trail Stakes) for three-year-old fillies at Group 3 level. This race marks the beginning of the New Zealand Filly of the Year series.

The race was previously named the Stoney Bridge Stakes from 2004 to 2008.[1]

In 2003, when it was raced at Otaki, the race had been called the Glenmorgan Generous Stakes and prior to that the Glenmorgan Hawkes Bay Challenge Stakes.

It was a Group 3 race until 2001 and Group 2 until 2004.

In the COVID 19 affected 2020/21 season the Windsor Park Plate was raced on 3 October 2020. The same meeting held the Hawke's Bay Guineas whereas the Hawke's Bay Breeders Gold Trail Stakes was held a fortnight earlier on September 19 along with the Tarzino Trophy.
