Kingston Rule - Timing Is Everything

You can make a strong case as to whether Kingston Rule is the best bred or most handsome winner of the Melbourne Cup, but there is no doubt his time of 3:16:3 to win the 1990 edition has him as fastest ever to claim ‘the race that stops a nation’.

Kingston Rule looked very much like his Father. Don't know what the hell TJ was thinking.

[@andrewschubank5252]

TJ trained horses differently to Bart .. Bart had a lot of patience with his horses and they let him know what they were good for .. he had one race with the horse and that was it he wasn't good enough ! TJ won 2 Melbourne cups and Cummings won 12 and I think that all comes down to his patience and training style !

Kingston Rule was fast and quite the looker - wonder where he got that from?
This is also a nice little peek into Australian horse racing and one of the world's best races. Great stuff!

his father was after all secretariat, he looks a lot like his sire

Mad rush down to the TAB to get that purple n gold coloured ticket. Go Beadman 😂

[@nickhanlon9331]

A lot of unfinished buisiness on Bart's and Hain's behalf. Beadman went on to have a great career and the 3>16 thing is a bit spooky.
