Vosne Romanee (foaled 17 September 2002) [1] is a three-time Group 1 winning New Zealand Horse.
Vosne Romanee was named after a wine region in France and was owned by Ian and Alana Smart Trust. He was trained by Jeff Lynds. [2] Buddy Lammas and Opie Bosson were regular riders.
He rose to prominence as a seven-year-old in the 2009/10 season. His most significant win came as one of several longshots in the Kelt Capital Stakes in October 2009, [3] and followed up with wins in the Zabeel Classic [4] on Boxing Day and the New Zealand Stakes [5] in March 2010.
The achievements were more notable as the three events were among the most competitive races in New Zealand that season and led to Vosne Romanee being named the New Zealand Horse of the Year for the 2009/10 season.
