He did run those fractions (or close to it) in the Florida Derby and was passed by three horses. It's worth remembering that Stormello also had Nobiz making another run at him at the wire in the FOY.
If they go 6F in 1:12, Stormello will have Street Sense, Nobiz, and Scat Daddy right on his flank, and he's shown no evidence that he's be able to hold off horses of that caliber. (And that's leaving out everyone else).
So here's the question: What makes you think he can get 1 1/4 in a derby-winning time, given that he hasn't run a winning time at 1 1/8 this year while on the lead?
At best, he's a play on the bottom of exotics, though starting from so far out, I'm inclined to toss him altogether.
