  • Part 1 of the Kingston Town story. One of Australia's greatest racehorses. Trained by the legendary TJ Smith, Kingston Town won 3 consecutive Cox Plates. A feat never equalled before or since.

    Kingston Town was, and still is, the most remarkable Racehorse that ever raced in this country. I don't think we will ever see another one like him in our lifetimes.

    Kingston Town in the 1980 Tancred was simply unbelievable. I saw this race, when KT went past Double Century, I thought he broke down but Double Century actually came second. Hard to believe any horse in history would have beaten KT that day.

      It's a phenomenal win in the Tancred. His acceleration was on full show this day

    The King's my favourite horse of all time and the best i've seen. I just hate how every time i watch one of his races people have to bring up who's better Winx or the King . Just enjoy how truly great the Black Horse was.

      Very Well said Robert!! Let's just Enjoy and remember both of them for the Freakish Champions they were mate. IIIIII HATE comparing Eras. But, IFF they raced at the same time and I had 5k and could only back 1, I'D back Winx for sure. She'd never have flogged him but? I'd say she'd beat him from anything from a Nose too 1 length. That said we'll never know.

    Full credit to Tommy Smith, he took him all over Australia, raced him from 1200 -3200m, didn't just hide him in WFA races like Winx and Black Caviar. No other horse can compare to the King in the past 50 years.

    God this horse was good. Keep trying to say Winx is better until you watch these tapes again.
    Different type of horse to Winx. Held a position. Explosive power. Met much better horses
    !200 -3200. Watch him walk past Double Century in the Sydney Cup. Bloody amazing.

      If winx can win 3 cox plates he has to be on par but I will say Kingston raced against better opposition and basically raced in every top race,the modern day champions are treated with kid gloves and protected like no other.The king took them all on and for the most part beat them.

    • @anneshaw9681
      @anneshaw9681 7 лет назад +4

      Got to agree with that . Kid gloves. Look at Black caviar. Would be a brave man to say Winx is better than Kingston Town. !200 to 3200 . Amazing horse. I do think Winx is the best horse since Kingston Town
