Symboli Kris S (Japanese: シンボリクリスエス; foaled January 21, 1999 – December 8, 2020) was an American born Japan-based Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was voted Japanese Horse of the Year in 2002 and 2003.[1] He was retired at the end of 2003 and was syndicated for $15-million.
From 2002 to 2003, Symboli Kris S achieved the first consecutive wins in the history of the Tenno Sho (Autumn) (GI) and became the fourth horse to achieve consecutive wins in the Arima Kinen (GI). In his final race, the 2003 Arima Kinen, he won by an overwhelming 9 lengths, a record margin for the race at the time.
After retiring as a racehorse, he became a sire, producing GI winners such as Le Vent Se Leve, Success Brocken, and Epiphaneia, as well as Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) winner Rey de Oro in 2017.
