Kingsbarns remains unbeaten

Kingsbarns led wire to wire to win the $1 million Louisiana Derby by four lengths Saturday and earned 100 qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby. Ridden by Flavien Prat and trained by Todd Pletcher, Kingsbarns ran 1 3/16 miles in 1:57.33 after breaking to the front and then settling into a relatively slow pace on a warm, dry day. The rest of the field settled behind, setting up a sprint to the finish around the final turn, during which Kingsbarns pulled away comfortably to remain unbeaten in three races. A 9-2 second favorite in the field of 12, Kingsbarns paid $11 to win. Disarm, which went off at 7-1, charged through the field late to finish second and Jace’s Road, at 6-1 odds, was another two lengths back in third after challenging for the lead from the first turn until the beginning of the homestretch.
