Kentucky Derby 2017: Top 5 Best Sleepers & Dark Horses

No. 3 Gormley


Odds: 15-1


Jockey: Victor Espinoza


Trainer: John Shirreffs


Outlook: If you are looking for a horse to overachieve based on an experienced jockey, look no further than Gormley. Victor Espinoza has three Kentucky Derby victories: War Emblem (2002), California Chrome (2014) and American Pharoah (2015). That's a nice pedigree for 15-1 odds. Gormley's best BRIS Speed number was 102 in the Sham. Gormley has won four of his last six races including his last outing at the Santa Anita Derby in April. (Getty)
