The early payout should Gormley win the 2017 Kentucky Derby would be $150 for every $10 bet at US Racing. You will want to lock this price in here as the odds will likely get shorter.
Gormley was the winner of the Santa Anita Derby and Sham Stakes two races before that. In between he finished 4th at the San Felipe.
The one great thing he has going for him is that he’ll be ridden by three-time Derby winner jockey Victor Espinoza.
Trainer John Shirreffs has expressed apprehension over Gormley’s inconsistency.
“You want a horse to develop on his own,” Shirreffs said. “As a trainer I don’t want to do a lot of different things with him. I want to give him the opportunity to take things as far as he can and whatever knowledge I have, I can add to it.”
“I just think it’s important for a horse to take themselves as far as they can,” Shirreffs said. “Everybody learns from their mistakes, horses can learn from their mistakes, too. I didn’t want to change something we didn’t need to change. Maybe I have an idea that sounds real good to me, but doesn’t work with that particular horse. I didn’t want to make a lot of changes too soon.”
