Racing Dudes Top 20 Kentucky Derby Rankings #9

14. Gormley

Derby Points/Rank: 25 – 13th

Race Record: (5) 3-0-0

Earnings: $320,000

Breeding: Malibu Moon – Race to Urga

Owner: Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Moss

Trainer: John Shirreffs

Last Race: Grade 2 San Felipe at Santa Anita, Finished 4th

Analysis: He was destroyed by Mastery in the San Felipe, but with Mastery now off the trail, it gives him hope again on the California circuit.  I never gave him proper credit leading up to the San Felipe, and after his poor effort, I now may be giving him too much credit by keeping him ranked this high.  However, I think Mastery broke his heart a little bit in the San Felipe, and if he can get an easier trip on the front end next time out, he’ll run better.
