About
Alder, a 5yo horse bred in the United States and trained by David Jacobson, is by Hard Spun out of Arbol. To date the gelding has won five races. Its biggest triumph came on 24 Aug 2026 at Saratoga, where it captured the $120,000 Race 5. The animal has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing Alder throughout its career would have yielded a 26% return on investment.
