2023 Kentucky Derby Predictions: Kingsbarns

• Post Position: 6
• Odds: 12/1

The Louisiana Derby winner is a perfect 3-0 in his career and won the Louisiana Derby in wire-to-wire fashion. The Louisiana Derby is a 1 3/16-mile race, which is nearly equivalent to the Churchill Downs track. Kingsbarns also has impressive pedigree as the son of Uncle Mo, whose also the father of Nyquist (2013 derby winner) and Mo Donegal, who finished fifth in the Derby then won the Belmont Stakes. Consider me intrigued. I’ll be working Kingsbarns into my card as a win bet, as well as in my exotics.

Kingsbarns Profile

Kingsbarns made his debut in 2022 and immediately caught the attention of the racing world. He won the Group Three Solario Stakes in Sandown, England in his first race, defeating several other talented horses. He then went on to win the Group One Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster, beating another impressive field of runners.

The colt was then sent to the United States to race in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar. Unfortunately, he finished fifth in that race, but many believe that the tough competition and the different track conditions may have affected his performance.

Despite his loss in the Breeders’ Cup, Kingsbarns still has a lot of potential and many believe that he has what it takes to win the Kentucky Derby in 2023. In fact, some experts are already favoring him to win the race.

Kingsbarns possesses a well-balanced physique and has shown great speed and stamina in his races. He also has a strong pedigree, with his sire Galileo being one of the most successful stallions in horse racing history.

In addition to his natural talent on the racetrack, Kingsbarns is also trained by the legendary trainer Aidan O’Brien. O’Brien has an impressive record in horse racing, having trained many derby winners in the past.

Given Kingsbarns’ talent, pedigree, and connections, he is definitely a horse to watch in the 2023 Kentucky Derby. If he can continue to improve and perform at his best, he may just become the next star of the horse racing world.
