Noble Indy, breezing for the first time since his victory in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on March 24, went an easy half-mile in 26.50, 50.41 over a deep and tiring track at Palm Beach Downs just after dawn Friday morning.  Noble Indy worked without blinkers in company with stable mate Ivy Bell, winner of the Grade 2 Inside Information in her last start.

"I thought it was good for his first work back, just a maintenance type work to get things started," said trainer Todd Pletcher. "We'll work him in blinkers when we get a little more serious in his next few works. I was happy with it."
