The good: Gormley was no glaring weaknesses. Grand colt. When allowed to relax, he is full of run on the far turn. Victor Espinoza really liked this guy right away. Brutal trip in Breeders Cup Juvenile(helps value).

The bad: He was third best in the Santa Anita Derby. He won the Santa Anita Derby(hurts value). When asked to attend a star 3yo in the San Felipe, he did not have his typical strength on the far turn(must suck-up mid-pack as a deep 'e/p' or 'P' type to run his 'A' race). Similar overconfidence displayed in the Breeders Cup Juvenile, when Espinoza thought he could quarterhorse to good 1st-turn position from a wide post, and was met with a harsh reality-check.

The ugly: A good trip with his 'A' race is not fast enough to crush Derby foes(lacks star talent).
