Kauai King (1963-1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was born on Pine Brook Farm in Maryland. His sire was Native Dancer. In 1966 Kauai King won the first two legs of the U.S. Triple Crown. To date Kauai King is one of only two horses born in Maryland to cross the Kentucky Derby finish line first. Dancer’s Image was later stripped of his title leaving Kauai King as the only official Maryland-bred winner of the Derby.
