Verrazano (horse)
Verrazano (foaled 27 January 2010) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. In 2013, trained by Todd Pletcher, he established himself as one of the leading three-year-old colts with early wins in the Tampa Bay Derby and Wood Memorial Stakes. He finished fourteenth in the Kentucky Derby and missed the remaining two legs of the Triple Crown but returned to prominence later in the summer with wins in the Pegasus Stakes and the Haskell Invitational Stakes. In his four-year-old year, he was campaigned in Europe, trained by Aidan O'Brien.
==Background==
Verrazano is a bay colt with a white stripe and two white socks bred by Emory A Hamilton at Middlebrook Farm near Lexington, Kentucky. Steve Haskin has described him as looking "like Hercules next to mere mortals".
His sire, More Than Ready, showed his best form over sprint distances, recording his most important success in the Grade I King's Bishop Stakes at Saratoga in 2000. He stands at the Vinery Stud in Kentucky, and has also been shuttled to stand in Australia and New Zealand during the southern hemisphere breeding season. As a stallion his greatest success before the emergence of Verrazano had come with his southern hemisphere stock, including More Joyous, a mare who won nine Group One races. Verrazano's dam Enchanted Rock showed no ability on her only racecourse appearance, but has become a successful broodmare, also producing the Risen Star Stakes winner El Padrino.
As a yearling, Verrazano was consigned by the Middlebrook Farm to the Keeneland sale. On 14 September he was sold to the Let's Go Stable (managed by Bryan Sullivan and Kevin Scatuorchio) for $250,000. Scatuorchio named the horse after the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
