KRIS LEES
-
Australia
Kris Lees worked for a long time with his late father Max who was a great trainer in the Newcastle area and so then took out his own licence in 2003.
He had a great thrill training County Tyrone to win a Metropolitan and Sydney Cup as Max had previously won the Queensland Derby with that warrior.
However he believes his best horse was the filly Samantha Miss who took the Princess Series, then placed in the Cox Plate before bolting away with the VRC Oaks.
Like his father, he has a special affinity with fillies and mares as he showed by producing Lucia Valentina to win the rich Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick.
