Carson City is actually one of the last names you'd want to see in the up-close pedigree of a Derby Prospect....in my opinion.
Barbaro was by Dynaformer (Stamina) and from a female family laced with stamina.
IMO, Stormello is not as talented as Brother Derek was at this point last year, and much like BD, he looks like an early developing type, who's already polished, and doesn't have much room for future improvement.
I believe he's rated that high because he won the Norfolk and Hollywood Futurity--the top two West Coast races for 2yo's around two turns. The same two races Brother Derek won last year.
