Racing Dudes Top 20 Kentucky Derby Rankings #5

9. Gormley

Derby Points/Rank: 20 – 6th

Race Record: (4) 3-0-0

Earnings: $296,000

Breeding: Malibu Moon – Race to Urga

Owner: Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Moss

Trainer: John Shirreffs

Last Race: Grade 3 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita, Finished 1st

Analysis: Rebounded from a poor effort in the Breeders Cup Juvenile to win the Sham Stakes last time out in dramatic fashion.  Labeled himself a contender again with that win, but as previously mentioned, I think American Anthem has the biggest upside coming out of that race.  However, you still must respect this colt, as he picked up the win and has run very well in 3 out of his 4 starts.
