Albus: Young Dirt Runner with Climbing Form

Albus is a dark bay colt born May 15, 2023, trained by Riley Mott for Pin Oak Stud LLC. Currently, he has earned $436,288 in his young career.

Family Tree

His sire Yaupon earned $703,264 with 6 wins from 8 starts, demonstrating proven fast dirt success. Yaupon's own sire is Uncle Mo, a champion, with dam Modification carrying Vindication bloodlines. Albus's dam is Adream, by the Grade 1 winner Bernardini (Unbridled line through dam Turbo Dream), bringing classic distance genetics.

Racing Record

Albus is 2-for-4 with one show through April 4, 2026:
-- Oct 16, 2025 at Keeneland: Finished 4th in MSW 7 furlongs at 11-1 odds
-- Nov 29, 2025 at Churchill Downs: Finished 3rd in MSW 1 1/16 miles at 5-1 odds
-- Feb 27, 2026 at Tampa Bay Downs: Won maiden race 1 mile 40 yards at 1-2 odds by 6.75 lengths (jockey Samy Camacho)
-- Apr 4, 2026 at Aqueduct: Won stakes race 1 1/8 miles at 12-1 odds by 1.25 lengths (jockey Jaime Torres)

What Matters

Albus showed dramatic improvement with back-to-back victories, proving he belongs in stakes company after just four races. His April 4 win at 1 1/8 miles demonstrates he can handle classic distances. Both victories came on fast dirt at quality tracks.

Caution

With only four career races, Albus remains relatively inexperienced. He hasn't yet raced at the Kentucky Derby distance of 1¼ miles—critical preparation needed. His two losses came early in his career before finding form. Strong competition awaits in future prep races.
