Colonel Holloway (foaled 1909) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 1912 Preakness Stakes.

Background
Colonel Holloway was bred by Catesby Woodford at Raceland Farm near Paris, Kentucky. He raced for Beverwyck Stable and was trained by Dave Woodford.

Racing career
In the 1912 Preakness, Colonel Holloway was ridden by Clarence Turner. He had not been in the original entries but was added after winning the Maryland Club purse earlier that day. He started as the 8–5 favorite and won the race from Bwana Tumbo and Tipsand. The race was run as a handicap, with Colonel Holloway carrying 107 pounds, thirteen pounds less than the runner-up. Earlier that year, he finished second to Sotemia in the four-mile Kentucky Endurance Stakes in October 1912. By 1915, Colonel Holloway was still racing in the United States and Canada, with his owner listed as D. J. Scanlon. By 1920, he was racing at Timonium, Maryland, but the press noted he was no longer in good physical condition.

After racing
No records have been found of Colonel Holloway’s progeny or of his death.

Pedigree
Sire: Ethelbert (USA) out of Eothen (GB); Dam: Sweet Hawthorne (USA) out of Lazzarone (USA). Colonel Holloway was inbred 4×4 to Lord Clifden, meaning that horse appears twice in generation four of his pedigree.
