Kingsbarns (foaled January 17, 2020) is a retired multiple-Graded winning American Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 2023 Louisiana Derby and in 2024 won the Grade I Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs.

Background

[edit]

Kingsbarns is a bay horse that was bred in Kentucky by Parks Investment Group headed by Lee Seering. Seering bought Kingsbarns' dam Lady Tapit for $675,000 who was offered at the 2013 Keeneland September Yearling Sale and raced her before her career came to an abrupt halt after a training accident.[2] Kingsbarns was the second foal from Lady Tapit. His sire Uncle Mo since entering stud in 2012, stands for $150,000 at Ashford Stud in Versailles, Kentucky has been among the top sires in the Northern Hemisphere. As of April 2024 he ranks 20th overall in lifetime progeny earnings.[3]

Kingsbarns sold for $250,000 at the 2021 Saratoga Select Yearling Sale to Tom McCrocklin as an agent for Champion Equine. He was then pinhooked and sold to Spendthrift Farm for $800,000 at the 2022 March Fasig-Tipton Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale.[2]

Kingsbarns was trained by US Hall of Fame trainer Todd A. Pletcher.

Kingsbarns was retired in August 2024 after straining a leg ligament in training, and will stand the 2025 breeding season at Spendthrift.[4]
