Noble Yeats

Noble Yeats was a bay gelding bred by Kristene Hunter in Ireland. His sire was Coolmore stallion Yeats, winner of the Ascot Gold Cup in four consecutive years (2006 to 2009) and his dam is That's Moyne, a winner over hurdles. He was sold as a three-year-old in August 2018 to trainer Donal Hassett for €6,500. He made his racecourse debut on 1 December 2019, coming second in a point-to-point, and later that month was sold for £75,000. Noble Yeats was euthanised after a severe bout of colic on 16 April 2026, at the age of 10. ==2020/21 season==

New owner Paul Byrne put Noble Yeats into training with Emmet Mullins. In December 2020 he came third in his first bumper (National Hunt flat race). The following month he secured his first victory, winning a bumper at Thurles. After another bumper, where he came sixth, he was raced over hurdles for the first time. Ridden by Brian Hayes, he started at odds-on favourite in a maiden at Navan and won by twelve lengths. ==2021/22 season==

After a summer break of seven months, Noble Yeats ran in his first chase and won by a head. After this victory in a beginners' chase at Galway, his owner and trainer decided to enter him for the Grand National. Noble Yeats then ran in two Grade 3 races and two handicaps in Ireland, without being placed in the first three. ==Grand National record==
