Willie Martinez will ride Noble's Promise should he go in the Derby. Moved from 50-50 to 60-40 after today's work according to Kenny McPeek.

I get the "having a Derby experience" deal, but there seem to be some underlying issues with this horse that would lead me to believe they'd want to err on the side of caution. Plus, the horse makes Mine that Bird look like a good bet last year. If Homeboykris actually runs in the Derby this year, I will almost guarantee the graded earnings format is changed for the 2011 Run for the Roses.

Heard about the work and thought that might happen. Thanks for the update Steve. Those scratches must be looking better, or he's running well enough in spite of them.

So in reality that means he's 95%. He's not looking for sign the horse can compete, they are looking for a reason not to go.
