Americus originally named Rey del Caredes and raced occasionally as Rey del Carreres (foaled 1892 died 1910) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was exported to England. He had some success as a racehorse but was more notable for his influence at stud. He was bred in California and won the 1895 Culver Stakes prior to his export. He continued to race in England until he was nine years old while also standing as a breeding stallion.
