Unbeaten Treve has been named racehorse of the year at the Cartier Racing Awards. The three-year-old French filly, trained by Criquette Head-Maarek, has won all five of her starts. She ended this season with an impressive five-length victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

The success saw Treve emulate Zarkava in 2008 by winning the French Oaks, Prix Vermeille and Arc in the same season. 

Treve beat off competition from Sky Lantern, Moonlight Cloud, Novellist and Al Kazeem for the overall title. She also won the Three-Year-Old Filly Award, beating Sky Lantern, Just The Judge, Chicquita and Talent.

The Older Horse Award went to Moonlight Cloud, who is unbeaten this year and has secured three Group One victories - the Larc Prix Maurice de Gheest, the Prix Du Haras De Fresnay-Le-Buffard Jacques Le Marois and the Qatar Prix de la Foret.

Magician, winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas in May and the 12-furlong Grade One Breeders' Cup Turf last month, won the Three-Year-Old Colt award.
