The Windsor Park Plate (formerly the Stoney Bridge Stakes) 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. It is the second of the three Group 1 weight-for-ages run in Hawke's Bay's Spring Carnival, after the Mudgway Stakes and before the Spring Classic. These three races make up the Triple Crown of the Hawke’s Bay Spring Racing Carnival.

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.
