Noholme (also known as Noholme II)^[1] (1956–1983) was an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who was the 1959 Australian Horse of the Year [1] and who took nearly a full second off the race record in winning the prestigious Cox Plate.

He was sired by Star Kingdom (IRE), the Leading sire in Australia on five occasions and sire of Sky High etc. Noholme's dam, Oceana, was a daughter of the brilliant miler Colombo (won 2,000 Guineas Stakes) from the good mare Orama by Diophon (also won the 2,000 Guineas). Noholme was a full brother to the stallions, Todman, Faringdon and Shifnal. These four stallions sired progeny that had earned over $12 million in stakes-money to the end of 1979.^[2]
