Verrazano looks one to follow for rest of the season

Here’s a horse to follow for the rest of the season, Aidan O’Brien’s American import, Verrazano.

At Royal Ascot on Tuesday, he was beaten three parts of a length into second by Richard Hannon’s hot-pot, Toronado, in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes.

Toronado was making his seasonal debut, whereas Verrazano had a run under his belt, so logic should dictate that there is no way the placings will be reversed next time.
