Excellent 
When I saw it first I assumed it was just talk and would never happen. This horse will be really interesting over a mile imo.

Arriving in England today.
Beginning to get tempted by 16/1, 20/1 would seal it I think.
Maybe one or two will catch him but would be surprised if three of them did.

Yup good luck Charlton.
saw photos of him training the other week and he looked in great nick.
Ran a magnificent race in the Kentucky Derby...chased a suicidal pace, took it up turn for home but just couldnt see out the trip.
Trainer sent over Hard Buck to finish 2nd behind Doyen in the King George so he knows what he's doing.

Great idea but wrong track. Going right handed and up and down hill will not suit. Always been trained left handed on aflat turning greyhound track. York is the track so bear that in mind.
He worked nicely around a right handed bend before he left Kentucky.
siyouni coming over for this? hope so think hes a class act
You'll like this one I think ELG.
I've had a Google alert set up on him for a few weeks now and this is the first piece of any real interest.

Seven-hour stopover that fuelled ambitions of Royal Ascot glory; David Ashforth visits Kenny McPeek, US trainer of St James's Palace hope Noble's Promise.
Byline: David Ashforth
ABROAD is not a place most American horsemen have a burning desire to go. They are happy with their long-established system, training as well as racing on flat, left-handed racetracks. With plenty of valuable races at home, tailor-made for their horses, owners and trainers need big financial carrots to tempt them abroad - carrots the size of Dubai. Kenny McPeek, ambitious, energetic, fun-loving, internationally minded, is different.
Next month that difference will take McPeek, 47, back to the right-handed, undulating turf of Ascot, where he took Hard Buck for the 2004 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth
Diamond Stakes, and finished second to Doyen, at 33-1. This time he will be bringing Noble's Promise, recently fifth in the Kentucky Derby, for a crack at the St James's Palace Stakes.
"I learned from the Hard Buck experience that it can be done," says McPeek. "It's not something to be intimidated by, it's a horserace. People are going to have opinions about whether you can or you can't succeed but there's only one way to know and that's to line 'em up and run 'em."
To watch Noble's Promise work, you do not go to the backstretch at Churchill Downs, where McPeek has 36 horses in training on the dirt, nor to Keeneland, where he has another 24 working on Polytrack. Instead, you drive to the farm he bought four years ago in the rolling grass countryside outside Lexington, to the early morning mist of the grass gallop that takes the $10,000 colt, with earnings already approaching $900,000, right-handed and left-handed, uphill and downhill, in the hands of Ray Handel.
It's a piece of work that, in a way, started with Hard Buck, and with Ascot's persistent efforts to tempt top American horses to cross the Atlantic.
"When I was in Dubai, where Hard Buck ran second in the Sheema Classic, I had a chance meeting with Ascot's Nick Cheyne," McPeek recalls. "He said that I should come to England and, by chance, I had a seven-hour stopover on the flight back home. Nick picked me up at Heathrow and we went and walked around both Epsom and Ascot.
"It was an eye-opener and, in my mind, I said, 'We can do this, we can get Hard Buck to run right-handed.' When I got home, we messed about with him a bit and, when we took him to Newmarket before the King George, I found that training right-handed rejuvenated him. The good run he put in at Ascot told me that it was do-able."
To succeed in the US, McPeek didn't need to take on the challenge and expense of preparing horses differently. He had already shown that he could succeed the conventional way, with the high-class exploits of Tejano Run and Repent, Take Charge Lady, She's A Devil Due, Harlan's Holiday and Sarava, but he thought there was a better way. McPeek wanted to train horses right-handed as well as left-handed, but that was easier desired than done.
"The tracks won't let you work right-handed," he explains, "so I started to look for a suitable property. I couldn't find one, and didn't have the money then, but a seed had been planted."
In 2005, McPeek took a year's break from training and, as well as picking out Curlin, for $57,000, he visited Australia, to add to a list of international visits that embraces France, Ireland, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Dubai, Hong Kong and Macau.
"In Australia, I spent some time with Lee Freedman and David Hayes, at their own training facilities, and they encouraged me," says McPeek. "Within 48 hours of arriving back in the US, I'd bought what was once Pillar Stud and is now Magdalena Farm. It was a shambles, abandoned and overgrown, without a horse on it for a year. It had burst pipes and faulty electrics and I didn't have a single horse in training. I had to gather the courage, the owners and the horses. Now we've trained 20 Stakes winners here in less than four years."
McPeek knew he was doing the right thing when, early on, in 2006, he took over a horse called Stratostar who had been running badly for D Wayne Lukas. "Stratostar wouldn't train on the racetrack," McPeek remembers, "but when we brought him here and trained him righthanded on the grass, he loved it. He ran up the hill better than any horse I'd ever had." Stratostar won a dozen races for McPeek.
Kentucky scenes: top left, Noble's Promise (Ray Handel) works at Kenny McPeek's Lexington farm; top right, McPeek keeps an eagle eye on proceedings; below, Noble's Promise, "not a tall horse but very efficient" "Training and racing horses left-handed all the time can tire them, physically and mentally," he says. "I'll take a horse who has been training left-handed every day and train them right-handed, and they love it. They get better balanced and stay happier. I regularly rotate horses between three surfaces, dirt, Polytrack and grass, and find out which suits them best."
In nine races, Noble's Promise has run on five different surfaces and performed well on all of them, last year winning a maiden race on turf at Ellis Park
, a Stakes race on Presque Isle Downs' Tapeta track, and the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity on Keeneland's Polytrack.
He finished a close-up third on Pro-Ride in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita and, although he has not yet won on dirt, McPeek believes that Noble Promise's best run was when narrowly beaten by Lookin At Lucky, who subsequently won the Preakness, in the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park in March.
"He's deceiving in his size," says McPeek, watching approvingly as the compact-looking Noble's Promise moves easily, changing his lead leg readily.
"He doesn't seem very big but when you put a set of tack on him he's huge, got a really big shoulder, big hindquarters, not a tall horse but very efficient. He's easy to handle, never had a problem, would put a veterinarian out of business. He's got a good mind and ships and runs real well." Noble's Promise does three circuits, sweats a bit more than usual down his neck. "Went good," says Handel.
CHASING Dreams Racing, a partnership with 21 members, owns Noble's Promise and 12 of the partners, some with wives and husbands, will be making the trip to Royal Ascot. A small group are at Magdalena today, to watch their champion work. "It's going to be great," says Robert Brewster, stocky and down to earth. "We're going to be fitted into those outfits and I'm going to invite the Queen to come and meet Noble."
"I'm a fan of racing worldwide," says McPeek, his animation rising a notch, "and I think English racing is the classiest in the world. Americans don't really understand how wonderful it is. In Europe, people enjoy the sport as it was meant to be." Then he adds: "American racing needs to eliminate all medication from Graded races. The sooner we do that, the sooner we'll get more respect worldwide."
How does McPeek rate Noble Promise's chance of Royal Ascot glory? "The Preakness would have come too soon for him," he says.
"With the extra time, I think he'll run as well as he did in the Rebel. One mile is his trip but Ascot could be a little tricky because it will play more like a mile and an eighth. However, in the Derby, he was on the lead, right next to Super Saver, at a mile and an eighth. If we can just run back to that, he's got a good chance, but how do you compare European and American horses? "I know I'm bringing a very good American miler. In ability, he's up there with Tejano Run [a $20,000 buy who finished second in the 1995 Kentucky Derby] and Harlan's Holiday] won three Grade 1 races and runner-up in the 2003 Dubai World Cup], and better than Sarava [2002 Belmont winner], but I don't know how good this year's St James's Palace Stakes will be. If he can win, it would enhance his value as a stallion. Even if he runs third, it would attract attention."
And the jockey? "We are hoping that Kieren Fallon will ride him," says McPeek.
"It isn't set in stone but we've spoken to Kieren and are working on the details. Noble's Promise's style is to sit off the pace and I think Kieren is as good as anyone at waiting on a horse."
As well as Noble's Promise, McPeek hopes to have a couple of two-yearold bullets in the chamber, with the possibility of Casper's Touch running in the Chesham Stakes, Tiz My Time in the Albany Stakes, and The Man Uptown in the Coventry Stakes. McPeek is a man who believes in taking a shot, and enjoying it.
Everyone is going to enjoy the trip to Royal Ascot.
I've had a Google alert set up on him for a few weeks now and this is the first piece of any real interest.

Excellent. The guy has all the bases covered imo Thanks for that. Great news :)
Brought back some memories that article...Loool Tejano Run hahaha I think was when Tabor's horse Thunder Gulch won for Lukas.
Here's THE MAN UPTOWN's last and only race...won on his debut :O Hand ride....Pulls 3 wide...Solis just showing him the whip...wins with plenty to spare imo.

casper's touch got hammered by Metropolitan Man of Weasley Ward's last time out...wonder if that won is comming over?
Did it nicely but I really don't think I could fancy an American 2 year old colt in the Coventry.... could I?
Nah... sticking clear of the 2yo races I think... maybe a fiver e/w can't hurt if a decent price.
I took 20/1 e/w with SJ earlier about Noble's Promise. It is such a hot race that I'm not sure that it was wise but I'd have fancied him for the Preakness and he ran such a cracker in the Kentucky Derby for 9f that he surely has to be there or thereabouts. Maybe 3 will pass him, maybe they won't... hey he could even win

Lack of medication 'no problem' for Promise
By Howard Wright 2:01PM 10 JUN 2010 ABSENCE of medication will be no barrier for Noble’s Promise, the first American-trained horse to run in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, according to his Lexington-based trainer Kenny McPeek.
In fact, McPeek declared on Thursday, the sooner all Graded races in the States are run drugs-free, the better for racing and the breed.
McPeek’s three-year-old, fifth in the KentuckyDerby on his latest start, is temporarily based in Newmarket, with the stable’s pair of two-year-old runners, Tiz My Time (Albany) and Casper’s Touch (Chesham).
The trainer said: “Noble’s Promise ran on a small shot of Lasix in the Kentucky Derby, but I have no problem whatsoever with the lack of medication at Ascot. For that matter, I believe America has to eliminate medication from all our Graded races.
“The sooner they do that, the sooner we will be respected internationally. I’m pushing the horsemen’s groups to take a proactive position on this issue. Graded races need to be run clean.”
McPeek defended the use of medication in lower-grade races, especially in the claiming division where he started his career, and said “certain horses need help”.
But he added: “If we could run Graded races without Lasix, we could prove to the rest of horsemen and owners there is a positive effect from not running on medication.
“Strengthening the breed is the important thing. There shouldn’t be a significant amount of injections, whether it’s Lasix or cortisone.
“If you get horses winning Graded races, Grade 1s in particular, naturally, under their own genes, they will go back into the breeding shed and produce horses that are stronger and tougher.”
McPeek is returning to Ascot for the first time since he saddled his only previous runner, Hard Buck, to finish second to Doyen in the 2004 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
“That was a great experience,” he said. “Unfortunately, it’s taken six years to get back.”
Noble’s Promise, owned by 24 largely blue-collar workers, who each paid $416.67 for their share, is running at Ascot because of the lack of suitable top-class opportunities over 1m for three-year-olds in the States, McPeek explained.
“He needed to be shortened to a mile, and because we don’t have good Grade 1 races available, the timing is right,” he said.
“He’s as good as any miler in America. He has won on grass and synthetics and been competitive on dirt. I’m hoping the ground is firm, but that’s out of our control.
“Some riders have gone too soon on him, so I hope Kieren Fallon takes note and can be patient with him.”

The American and French trainers have give us more info over the last 24 hrs than O'Brien has given us all year. How is RVW doing anyone ?
Rip Van Winkle is entered in the Queen Anne and Prince of Wales.
I wouldn't be backing him antepost but to me its a no brainer.
Goldikova and Paco have had prep runs, take the easier option.

Excellent!
I like the angle he's found for training his US horses right handed to spark them up.

Nice draw in 9 on the rail.
Should ping from gates and get a nice stalking position.

Realistically at this stage I don't really think he'll win.
Would have expected the race to cut up a lot more than it has done!
Assuming that Encompassing is in to make the pace and he can sit just off him as he's alongside in the stalls.
Just hoping for a good run, hit the front 2 out, and hopefully they can't catch him.
Have also backed Siyouni in this.

Ran ok. Disappointing as he had his chance but wasn't good enough.
He'll make us money long term though as Makfi is going to be a decent price after Noble's took him out.

dont think he was travelling well enough down the farside anyway.
