Prix Hocquart
Nonito was a dark-coated bay horse with a white star. His sire, the Prix Edmond Blanc winner Nikos had some success with his progeny on the flat but is much better known as a sire of jumpers including the Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Master Minded and the Grade I winners Cenkos (Maghull Novices' Chase) and Nakir (Arkle Challenge Trophy). Nononito's dam, Feuille d'Automne won one race and was a half sister of the Prix Noailles and Prix Hocquart winner Jeu de Paille.
