Pros – This year’s Santa Anita Derby winner.

Cons – Finished 9th at the Kentucky Derby.

Quick Thoughts – Gormley galloped 1 ½ miles under exercise rider Sammy Jimenez for California-based trainer John Shirreffs Thursday morning.

"It went good. I thought he looked really good out there," Shirreffs said. "Sammy said he was a little strong, then he relaxed, then when some breezers went by he got a little strong down the lane so he tried to slow him down a little. All in all, I thought it was OK.

"He went once around the main track. He came out through the paddock, stood, walked over to the turn and picked up the jog and galloped around," he added. "I said to everybody, especially his connections, that the big thing for us will be when the rider comes off the track and says if the horse liked it or not. I asked Sammy if he liked the surface and he said he did. I thought that was really important."
