ニエル賞
In autumn, Kris Kin was aimed at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp, and first ran over the course and distance in the Prix Niel. He stayed on strongly in the straight but again finished third, this time behind Dalakhani and Doyen. Stoute felt that the colt would improve from the race, whilst Fallon was reported to be "unhappy" about the tactics of one of the French riders, who had kept him boxed against the rails at a crucial stage.
