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.

Vosne Romanee returned in 2010 to race in what was formerly the Kelt Capital Stakes, the Spring Classic. He never has travelled comfortably and ran last behind his stablemate Wall Street.

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 is trained by Jeff Lynds.
