Vosne Romanee

Vosne Romanee is a three-time Group 1 winning New Zealand Horse. While being a competitive Group 1 horse earlier in his career, he rose to prominence as a seven-year-old in 2009/10. His most significant win came as one of several longshots in the Kelt Capital Stakes in October 2009,[1] and followed up with wins in the Zabeel Classic[2] on Boxing Day and New Zealand Stakes[3] in March 2010. The achievement was most notable as the three events were for the most competitive races in New Zealand that season; the distinction was the basis of being named the New Zealand Horse Of The Year for the 2009/10 season.
