Kingsbarns 16/1 for Epsom Derby after impressive debut

Kingsbarns made an impressive debut when landing the Irish Stallion Farms 2-Y-0 Maiden at Navan yesterday.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained son of Galileo, ridden by Joseph, travelled sweetly throughout, came through to lead with less than two furlongs to race before being driven clear to score by seven lengths from Risk Return.

Joseph enthused: “He travelled and picked up well. But he was clueless when he got to the front. He should learn plenty from today. He’s a smart colt and could be top-class next year.”
