The achievements were more notable as the three events were among the most competitive races in New Zealand that season. These wins led to the Vosne Romanee being named the New Zealand Horse of the Year for the 2009/10 season.
Vosne Romanee returned in 2010 to race in the Kelt Capital Stakes. He never travelled comfortably and ran last behind his stablemate Wall Street.[citation needed]
Vosne Romanee is named after a wine region in France. Buddy Lammas was his rider in the Kelt Capital Stakes but has since been regularly in races with Opie Bosson as his regular rider. Vosne Romanee is owned by Ian and Alana Smart Trust. He was trained by Jeff Lynds.[5]
