Details of Kingman's extended female line can be found on Oasis Dream's page, so his first dam Zenda will be the focus here. She became Zamindar's first Group 1 winner, and the first of three Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winners for her sire, when graduating from a Windsor maiden victory to success in the French 1000 Guineas. Narrow defeats in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland plus a victory in an Allowance at Saratoga followed – as did the exploits of her year-younger half-brother Oasis Dream. As a Classic-winning half-sister to a multiple Group 1 winner Zenda was a rare and valuable commodity when she retired to stud.
Although her early broodmare career failed to live up to the high hopes, signs of Zenda’s potential were revealed with the emergence of her talented Dansili filly Panzanella, a wide-margin maiden winner who achieved a Timeform rating of 94. Better was to come in the shape of the Dansili colt Remote (TF 119), who put together a three-race winning streak culminating in a victory in the Gr.3 Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot. Nine days after this victory, Kingman (TF 133) made his highly-anticipated debut at Newmarket, leaving no one in doubt that they had seen a very special colt.
Zenda has since produced a third blacktype performer – the Frankel colt First Eleven, who was very unlucky not to become his dam’s third Royal Ascot winner when third in the King George V Stakes. He secured blacktype in the Gr.3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes however. Both Remote and First Eleven have now started their stud careers in Argentina and Spain respectively.
Zenda also produced the talented five-year-old Sunray Major (Dubawi) who has achieved a Timeform rating of 114p. She sadly died in 2019 at the age of 20. The aforementioned Panzanella has produced four winners from four runners. Another daughter of Zenda in the broodmare band is the winning Bated Breath filly Present Tense.

Kingman's grandsire Green Desert is discussed on Oasis Dream's page. Needless to say he has proven to be a very influential sire of sires through the likes of Oasis Dream, Cape Cross and Invincible Spirit. His grandsons are also making their mark at stud – Sea The Stars and Showcasing are amongst the leading sires in Europe.
Invincible Spirit is also being ably represented by his stallion sons. Australian Group 3 winner I Am Invincible, who was second to Takeover Target in a 6f Group 1 contest, has quickly established himself as one of the leading sires in the Southern Hemisphere. He was the leading first season sire in Australia in 2013-14 and in 2018-19 made history by siring a record 28 Australian stakes winners in a single season, including four Group 1 winners. To date Invincible Spirit’s sons have sired over 200 stakes winners - but none have made a better start than Kingman.
Invincible Spirit is very similar in many ways to Kingman's “uncle” Oasis Dream. They are both sprinting sons of Green Desert who have staying influences in their pedigrees. Invincible Spirit is a son of the 1990 Prix de Diane winner Rafha – whose outstanding stud career produced seven blacktype performers in total including leading sire Kodiac, and the dam of Group 1-winning two-year-old Nayarra. As with Oasis Dream, Invincible Spirit has proven himself to be not only a world-class stallion, but also an extremely versatile one, siring Group 1 winners at distances from 5 to 10½f. Some of his stars include the outstanding Moonlight Cloud, Classic winners Magna Grecia and Lawman, top miler Charm Spirit, leading two-year-olds Shalaa and National Defense and the high-class sprinters Mayson, Fleeting Spirit, Profitable and Signs Of Blessing – but Kingman has achieved the highest Timeform rating of any of Invincible Spirit’s progeny.

On his retirement, Kingman was described by the usually restrained John Gosden as “A long way the most exciting colt I have ever trained.” This glowing description is a testament to the impact that the colt made while he was racing – a career which was defined by a most potent turn of foot. Kingman was unlucky not to have an unbeaten record – with the splitting field arguably the reason for his defeat in the Gr.1 2000 Guineas by a horse who had been 4½ lengths behind him in the Gr.3 Greenham Stakes. That day at Newmarket in May was soon forgotten as emphatic victories in the Gr.1 Irish 2000 Guineas, Gr.1 St James’s Palace Stakes, Gr.1 Sussex Stakes and Gr.1 Prix Jacques Le Marois followed. The Irish Guineas was a demolition exercise – with daylight between Kingman and his pursuers. Royal Ascot saw an equally easy victory – with Newmarket form reversed with Night Of Thunder. In the Sussex and Prix Jacques Le Marois Kingman put the best milers of the older generation to the sword – multiple Group 1 winners Toronado and Olympic Glory having no answer to the acceleration of the outstanding three-year-old.
Kingman's two-year-old career had given more than hint of what he might be able to achieve in the future. His debut victory at Newmarket was so impressive, both visually and on the clock, that he was as low as 5/1 for the Guineas afterwards and an equally convincing win in the Gr.3 Solario Stakes marked Kingman down as a colt of limitless potential. His three-year-old career confirmed Kingman as one of the best racehorses of recent times – possessing a turn of foot rarely seen. This innate talent, coupled with his outstanding bloodlines, made Kingman a highly exciting stallion prospect.
