Noble Indy

Noble Indy opened his career with a runaway 8 3/4-length win at Gulfstream Park in December 2017. He followed with a hard-fought victory in a 1 1/16-mile allowance/optional claiming race at Gulfstream in his 2018 debut. He tested stakes competition for the first time in the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds and finished willingly for third to earn 10 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve.

In his final prep race for the Kentucky Derby, Noble Indy battled gamely in the stretch to hold off Lone Sailor and My Boy Jack for a hard-fought victory in the $1 million, Grade 2 Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds on March 24. The victory earned Noble Indy 100 qualifying points and guaranteed the bay Take Charge Indy colt a spot in the starting gate for the run for the roses.

Noble Indy drew the 19 post position in the Kentucky Derby but reached contention early under jockey Florent Geroux. He dropped out of the early pack after seven furlongs and ended up finishing 17^th.
