I think it was a pretty good field he beat here.
The Grey Gatsby won the G2 Dante Stakes and G1 French Derby. Telescope won the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot by seven lengths, then finished second in the G1 King George. Mukhadram won the G1 Eclipse, then finished third in the King George. He was second in the Dubai World Cup earlier in the year.
And remember Australia was so close to Kingman when they were second and third in the 2000 Guineas. Look at what Kingman's done since.
