Recently retired New Zealand champion Bonneval has been secured by Waikato Stud and will be served by I Am Invincible.

Prolific New Zealand mare Bonneval is making steady progress as she recovers from a career-threatening injury that ruled out a return to Sydney.

The racing future of triple Group One winner Bonneval is in doubt with the mare found to have an injury to a suspensory ligament.

Trainer Murray Baker says Bonneval has pulled up well from her unplaced run in the Caulfield Stakes.

Bonneval and Jon Snow are both progressing well in New Zealand as they build towards Melbourne spring carnival campaigns.
