He didn't race lazily, which is a good sign. He had started to become quite lazy during his final few runs over here.
Will they step him up in trip for his next start, perhaps 6 1/2 furlongs? I always thought that was his best trip.

He'll go up to 6 furlongs next. Corey Nakatani wants the ride again-which is a good sign.
He was only beaten 6 1/2 lengths or so and the winner broke the track record. I would guess that Stormont has only been in a race that fast when he won the Group 2 in Germany. 5 Furlongs in a few 1/100ths over 56 and a time of shade over 1.02 for the 5 1/2.
