Kingsbarns (foaled 20 February 2010) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Racing Post Trophy in 2012 on his second career start. He is owned by Mrs John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith and is trained by Aidan O'Brien.
Kingsbarns is a bay colt foaled on 20 February 2010 and bred by Ann Marie O'Brien, the wife of trainer Aidan O'Brien. Kingsbarns is the son of Epsom Derby winner and multiple Champion sire Galileo. Galileo has produced many top horses, including Cape Blanco, Frankel, Nathaniel, New Approach and Rip Van Winkle. Kingsbarns' dam, Beltisaal, is a daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Belmez.
Kingsbarns did not race until October 2012, where he easily won a one mile maiden race at Navan Racecourse. Under jockey Joseph O'Brien he beat Risk Return by seven lengths. Having originally not been entered he was supplemented for the Racing Post Trophy at the cost of £17,500.
