Noble's Promise, (foaled April 13, 2007 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. He was bred by Charles Kidder (D.V.M.) and his son Ben in a partnership with Dr. Nancy Cole (D.V.M.). He is by Gainesway Farm stallion Cuvee, who was a three-time graded stakes winner at age 2 and owned by Chasing Dreams Racing, a horse syndicate of 24 based in Kentucky. Cuvee never won beyond a mile but was sired by Carson City a son of Mr. Prospector and damsire of the very important Barbaro. He is out of the Clever Trick mare, The Devil's Trick. It's this pedigree that surprised when he outran his sprint pedigree and clocked in a time of 1:43.12 for the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity Stakes. This win gave him an automatic berth in the $2 million 2009 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. Noble's Promise remained in California after the race and was entered in the $750,000 CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park Racetrack, where he finished a strong second to Lookin at Lucky.

Noble's Promise was purchased as a weanling for $10,000 at the 2007 yearling Keeneland Sales.^{[citation needed]}He is described as having a nice stalking style.^{[citation needed]}

Noble's Promise made his three-year-old debut at Oaklawn Park in the Rebel Stakes, a prep race that was won by Smarty Jones and Afleet Alex during their Kentucky Derby prep campaigns.

Noble's Promise became a millionaire in the 2011 Aristides Breeders' Cup Stakes, beating a field of Graded stakes winners, including Capt. Candyman Can, Atta Boy Roy, and the 2010 winner, Riley Tucker
