About
Alder is a 4yo horse from the United States trained by David Jacobson. He is by Hard Spun out of Arbol. To date Alder has secured three wins. On 5 Oct 2025 at Belmont’s Big A event, Alder captured his biggest triumph, taking the $90,000 purse in Race 9. The animal has been a lucrative option for bettors; wagering on Alder throughout his career would have yielded a 22 % return on investment.
