Bio
Noble Bird didn't make his first start until he was a 3-year-old, and he then took five tries to break his maiden. That first win came in August 2014 at Del Mar and would be his last race of the year.
Noble Bird didn't make his first start until he was a 3-year-old, and he then took five tries to break his maiden. That first win came in August 2014 at Del Mar and would be his last race of the year.
The colt shook off some rust in his first start of 2015 and rebounded to win an allowance at Oaklawn Park in March. He then tallied a hard-fought win at Keeneland and entered the Alysheba on Kentucky Oaks day for his first stakes try. He finished a close second there to set him up for a run in the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap. Noble Bird won the Stephen Foster Handicap in June to secure his first graded stakes victory, but after a disappointing ninth-place finish in the Grade 1 Whitney Stakes two months later Noble Bird was given a vacation for the remainder of 2015. He returned in 2016 with a sixth-place finish in an allowance race. He won the Grade 3 Pimlico Stecial Handicap by 11 3/4 lengths before off-the-board finishes in the Grade 1 Met Mile and Whitney Stakes. He bounced back in the Lukas Classic Stakes at Churchill Downs before setting a track record while winning the Grade 3 Hagyard Fayette Stakes.
Noble Bird is a son of 2004 Belmont Stakes winner Birdstone out of the unraced Tiznow mare Anyhow.
