Ki Ming
Ki Ming (1948–1957) was an Irish-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic 2000 Guineas in 1951. As a two-year-old he showed promise to win at Royal Ascot but his season was disrupted when his trainer was banned for a doping offence. At three, he recorded an upset win over a large field to win the Guineas but failed when favourite for the Epsom Derby. In autumn he returned to sprint distances and won the Diadem Stakes at Ascot. His record as a breeding stallion was very disappointing.
==Background==
Ki Ming was a very large brown horse with a white star and snip and white socks on his hind legs standing 17 hands high. He was bred at the Kilberry Stud near Navan in County Meath, Ireland by John C Sullivan. He was sired by Ballyogan, an Irish horse who excelled over sprint distances. The best of his other offspring Sixpence, a filly who won the Cheveley Park Stakes in 1953. Ki Ming's dam Ulster Lily was a daughter of a mare named The Beggar, making her a half-sister of the Lincolnshire Handicap winner Over Coat, the Stewards' Cup winner Poor Lad and Ballywellbroke, the granddam of Montaval.
When Sullivan died in 1949, Ki Ming was sent as a foal to the sales at Dublin where he was bought for 370 guineas by Tim Hyde. In the following year, the yearling was offered for sale at Newmarket and bought for 760 guineas by the trainer John Beary. The colt then entered the ownership of the Chinese-born restaurateur Billy Ley On and was trained by Beary at East Hendred in Berkshire.〔
