Epsom Oaks
After being syndicated with a value of £4 million Kris stood at his owner's Thornton Stud near Thirsk, before moving to the Plantation Stud at Newmarket in 1994. He sired Oh So Sharp, winner of the 1,000 Guineas, Epsom Oaks and St. Leger in 1985, and Unite, winner of the Epsom Oaks in 1987. Kris was retired from active stud duty in 2002 and died of heart failure two years later at the age of twenty-eight.
