Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm in Georgetown, Kentucky, has welcomed Oct. 30 MSW Noble Drama (Gone Astray), according to a press release early Friday.
The 9-year old dark bay gelding arrived at the farm courtesy of his owner and trainer, David Fawkes. Noble Drama earned his ticket to Old Friends when he won the 2018 FTBOA Silver Charm Florida Sire Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, which had been designated as a “retirement for life” at Old Friends race.
“From the day we presented Noble Drama with his Old Friends for Life certificate in 2018, we've cheered his racing successes, and hoped this day would come,” said John Nicholson, CEO of Old Friends.
During his 48 races, Noble Drama won five black-types, and the Florida-bred earned $876,562 over the course of his career.
“He was a great horse to have in the barn,” said David Fawkes. “He never had a soundness issue. He was very readable. You knew when he was doing good and when he wasn't. He was just so easy to have in the barn. Anybody could ride him. He was a very, very kind horse.
