Kingsgate Native (foaled 20 February 2005) is an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. He was a precocious juvenile sprinter, winning the Nunthorpe Stakes against older horses as well as finishing second in the Prix de l'Abbaye, Windsor Castle Stakes and Molecomb Stakes. He was equally successful in 2008, winning the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot before being retired to become a breeding stallion.
After proving infertile at stud he returned to the track in 2009 and won the King George Stakes. He remained in training until the end of the 2016 season, winning the Temple Stakes in 2010 and 2013 and the Achilles Stakes in 2015 as well as racing prominently in many other major sprint races.
Kingsgate Native is a dark-coated bay horse with a white star bred in Ireland by Peter McCutcheon. He was sired by Mujadil, an American-bred sprinter who recorded his biggest win in the Cornwallis Stakes as a two-year-old in 1990. The best of his other progeny have included Galeota (Mill Reef Stakes), Lesson In Humility (Ballyogan Stakes) and Masta Plasta (Norfolk Stakes). Kingsgate Native's dam Native Force won one minor race as three-year-old in 2001. She was a granddaughter of Spanish Habit, the dam of the 1000 Guineas winner Las Meninas.
As a foal, Kingsgate Native was consigned by the Springfort Park Stud to the Goffs sales in November 2005 and was bought for €28,000 by the Tally Ho Stud. In August 2006 the yearling was auctioned at the St Leger Sale at Doncaster and was sold for 20,000 guineas to Highflyer Bloodstock. The colt entered the ownership of the East End businessman John Mayne and was sent into training with John Best at Hucking on the North Downs in Kent.
