Kingston (1884 – 1912) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse . He won 89 races, the most in the history of the sport of Thoroughbred racing . Of his 138 starts, he was out of the money only on four occasions. He was later inducted into the United States Racing Hall of Fame .
He was bred by James R. Keene at his Castleton Stud near Lexington, Kentucky . Kingston was by Spendthrift out of Kapanga (GB) by Victorious, 2nd dam Kapunda, by Stockwell . Kingston's line goes back through Spendthrift to three significant sires: Lexington , Glencoe , and Boston .
Keene only sold him because he was having financial difficulties. As a yearling, Kingston was purchased by the trainer, Evert Snedecker , and his partner J. F. Cushman. They raced him as a two-year-old, during which time he proved himself a colt of quality, though he was beaten by both Hanover and the noted Tremont .
