The Championships Race Highlights
Schweppes Sydney Cup: County Tyrone (2006)
About
Kris Lees learnt the trade from his father Max Lees, a legendary Newcastle trainer with a special affinity with fillies and mares.
Kris showed a similar magic touch with the ladies as he guided the careers of Samantha Miss and Queensland Oaks winner Vitesse Dane, as well as having great success with grand stayer County Tyrone, a Sydney Cup and Metropolitan winner. Lucia Valentina is his latest stable star fresh off her creditable 5th in the Gr 1 Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin and looks a likely contender for the $4,000,000 Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
