	During his rise in competition, contemporary articles often referred to him as “K.S.” While there is no confirmed explanation for this abbreviation, it was likely used to avoid confusion with another horse of the time, Yamanin Miracle, who was also gaining attention and won a Grade 2 race around the same period. Additionally, there were no other active horses carrying the “K.S.” prefix at the time, which may have given the name an easier time to stand out.

Early in his career, there were clear signs of immaturity in how he handled races and himself.<sup>[citation needed]</sup>		On April 20th, 1991, K.S.Miracle began his three-year-old campaign.
