Kingman was represented by four 2-year-old group winners in 2022 including G1 winner Commissioning, the unbeaten Gimcrack Stakes winner Noble Style and G3 winner/G1-placed Nostrum, and his 2023 book of mares comprises some notable 2-year-old winners/producers, including G1 winner Passage Of Time (dam of Group winners Time Test and Tempus); G1-winning sprinter African Rose (dam of G3 winner Fair Eva); G3 winner and Famous Name's sister Big Break (the dam of listed winner Georgeville); G3 winner Helleborine (dam of Coventry Stakes winner Calyx) and G3 winner Pocket Square.
