His 2yo rating of 120, which placed him ahead of No Nay Never, War Command, Karakontie and Australia, was based on an unbeaten record in three starts. He took the Gr.3 Autumn Stakes by two lengths and the Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy by four and a half. Kingston Hill’s dam Audacieuse won the Gr.3 Prix de Flore, while his second dam Sarah Georgina was a six-furlong 2yo winner by the speedy Persian Bold. Sarah Georgina was also a half-sister to Danseuse du Soir, a first-rate performer at up to a mile who numbered the Prix Robert Papin, Poule d’Essai des Poulains and Prix de la Foret amongst his successes. Kingston Hill has a pedigree which allows breeders plenty of options. This son of champion 2yo Mastercraftsman has no SADLER’S WELLS blood, no GREEN DESERT and his one line to DANEHILL will be back in the fourth generation of his foals’ pedigrees, which allows a second line. Three of Mastercraftsman’s nine first-crop Group winners are out of mares from the SADLER’S WELLS line. ENTREPRENEUR sired the dam of The Grey Gatsby, IN THE WINGS the dam of Master Carpenter and SINGSPIEL the dam of Victoria Regina. Mastercraftsman has now sired the Gr.2 winner Even Song from a SADLER’S WELLS mare. This is therefore an attractive route with Kingston Hill. A HIGH CHAPARRAL mare produced the Prix Morny winner The Wow Signal to another grandson of Danehill Dancer.
