The Juddmonte-owned mare, who claimed three Group 1 victories this year, culminating in Arc glory on her final start, was awarded the top prize voted on by members of the ROA and followed on from her success earlier in the evening in the Outstanding Filly/Mare category.

ROA President Charlie Parker said: "Tonight’s awards are a chance for us to recognise and celebrate some of the outstanding performances made by our wonderful horses across this year. On behalf of everyone at the ROA, I would like to congratulate all the owners who have won this evening.

"These historic awards are now in their fifth decade and continue to hold a special place in the hearts of British racing, and it is wonderful to see the range of ownership entities and people that have been represented on the winner's podium."
