Albus pays $3000 for every $100 bet to win the Kentucky Derby
Despite the Wood Memorial having yielded the 4th highest number of winners in the Kentucky Derby, this prep race has not had much success in recent years with the last winner of both occurring 26 years ago.
Albus pays out $3000 for every $100 bet to win this year's Kentucky Derby.
He won the Wood Memorial, a prep race whose winner has gone on to have the 4th most Kentucky Derby victories at 14.
This was his only graded race start and has limited experience overall.
He is trained by Riley Mott, among the least experienced of the current Kentucky Derby trainers. He is the son of famed trainer Bill Mott.
Jockey Junior Alvarado has multiple Kentucky Derby starts, finishing as high as 2nd place.
Other Pros
- Late-developing 3-year-olds can be dangerous in the Derby.
- His running style and pedigree suggest he can handle longer distances.
Other Cons
- The Wood Memorial last yielded a Kentucky Derby winner in 2000 with Fusaichi Pegasus.
- His numbers haven’t clearly matched the very top contenders.
- He’ll face a much deeper field at Churchill Downs.
