OZONE PARK, N.Y. - What’s better than bringing one horse to your first Kentucky Derby? How about bringing two?  Trainer Riley Mott and owners Pin Oak Stud, who already have Virginia Derby winner Incredibolt pointed to the Kentucky Derby, will double their pleasure by adding Albus to their roster for the world’s most famous horse race. Albus earned his spot with a strong rally in the lane under Jaime Torres, splitting horses to win the Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial by 1 1/4 lengths at Aqueduct on Saturday. The victory earned Albus 100 qualifying points toward the May 2 Kentucky Derby.  Longshot Right to Party got up for second by a nose over Ocelli and likely earned himself a spot in the Derby starting gate as well. Ocelli finished third. Bravaro was fourth, followed by Napoleon Solo, Courting, Iron Honors, the 5-2 favorite, Talk to Me Jimmy, Steel, Minorinconvenience, Buetane and Red Zone Runner.  It was just a year ago that Riley Mott celebrated a second Kentucky Derby victory for his father Bill Mott. Now, Riley Mott will prepare two runners of his own.  :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing!

Mott said he and Pin Oak - headed by Dana Bernhard, immediately thought about the Wood Memorial. They did enter Albus in last week’s Florida Derby, but scratched in part because the race came up with three of the leading Kentucky Derby contenders.  Mott also thought that the deeper Aqueduct track would suit his colt’s grinding style a little better.  Under Jaime Torres, Albus settled into eighth position down the backstretch. He was about 11 lengths off the pace established by Napoleon Solo, who set fractions of 22.92 seconds for the quarter, 47.30 for the half and 1:12.04 for six furlongs while being pressed by Talk to Me Jimmy.  Albus began to advance around the far turn, moving around a tiring Red Zone Runner. Albus dove back to the inside briefly, but turning for home Torres brought him into the four path and, inside the eighth pole, he split Iron Honor and Talk to Me Jimmy, caught Napoleon Solo and, despite switching to his wrong lead, had enough left to hold off the closers.  “I was farther back than I wanted to be,” Torres said. “I got kicked out of the race, but on the backside, he gave me a good feeling. I asked him to jump on the bit and he did really good. I knew we were going to catch them at the end. I stayed calm. By the three-eighths pole, I thought I'd win the race.”  Albus, a son of Yaupon, covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:51.71 and returned $25.78 as the eighth choice. He earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 83. “Jaime said at the quarter pole if the horse went though the hole he knew he’d probably win the race,” Mott said. “At the eighth pole, when the horse made the lead, the horse tried to idle a little bit, just sort of waiting on horses, being a little immature, he still is that. It’s his fourth career start. It was great to see him finish it off like that.”  Right to Party, under Chris Elliott, rallied from 11th to get up for second. He went from the inside to about the 10-path in the stretch. The 50 points he earned for finishing second, combined with the 15 points he earned for finishing third in the Grade 3 Gotham, should give him the necessary points to run in the Kentucky Derby.  Right to Party is owned by Chester Broman, 90, a longtime New York breeder/owner who is desirous of having a Derby horse, and trained by Kenny McPeek.  Though not nominated to the Triple Crown by the first deadline of Jan. 27, Right to Party will be nominated by Monday, the second deadline for a fee of $6,000, McPeek said.  “He relishes the added distance more than anything,” McPeek said. “He’s always needed the two turns. He ran fantastic, I thought the young man Chris [Elliott] did an excellent job. We’ll discuss with Mr. Broman and see what he wants to do. I don’t have any doubt he’s going to handle the mile and a quarter.”  Ocelli, a maiden coming into the race, just missed second and trainer Whit Beckman felt the horse hung on his left lead a little too long, which cost him.  “We’ll probably run him in a maiden race next,” Beckman said.  Iron Honor got bumped hard into the first turn by longshot Red Zone Runner and trainer Chad Brown felt that played a significant role in the horse’s trip, which ultimately led to him finishing seventh.  “He took a hard bump going into the first turn and I never really felt great after that,” Brown said. “It looked like he lost his action going into the first turn - he got hit pretty hard  - [Manny Franco] said after he got slammed there he just jumped on the bit hard. He never really got off the bit, he kind of wore himself out.”  Brown said he would still consider Iron Honor for the Kentucky Derby depending how he came out of the race and what the owners want to do.  :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
