Bonneval's victory in Saturday's Group II Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes was surpassed when the mare was named New Zealand Horse Of The Year at a function in Auckland on Sunday.
It was a big night for connections with Bonneval named Horse of the Year, Three-Year-Old of the Year and Stayer of the Year as well as the New Zealand Bloodstock Filly of the Year trophy.
