Noble Indy was coming in at 35/1 odds of winning the 2018 Kentucky Derby early on.
WHY NOBLE INDY CAN WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY
He’ll probably have the highest odds of Todd Pletcher’s foursome, and sometimes the overlooked horse can be the best. Example: Real Quiet winning at 8-1 odds for trainer Bob Baffert in 1998 when his Indian Charlie was the favorite.
WHY NOBLE INDY CAN'T WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY
How much rust has he accumulated during the six-week layoff since the Louisiana Derby? Since Needles won in 1956, Animal Kingdom (2011) is the only horse to win the Kentucky Derby after a six-week layoff.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
Trainer Toddy Pletcher reporting on jockey Florent Geroux’s impressions of Noble Indy after a weekend workout at Churchill Downs:
“Florent was very happy and thought the horse breezed well,” trainer Pletcher said. “I cautioned him that if he passed his workmate that he might kind of idle a little bit, and he felt like he stayed very focused through the wire and stayed strong on the gallop out.”
