Bred and raced by Victoria's David H. Hains, who had bred Kingston Town, Kingston Rule was sired by the famed U.S. Triple Crown Champion, Secretariat, and out of the 1982 Australian Horse of the Year, Rose of Kingston.

Kingston Rule was trained by Bart Cummings and ridden by Darren Beadman in his Melbourne Cup win.
