Verrazano has been retired after a minor injury was discovered after the Coral Eclipse Stakes at Sandown on 5 July 2014. 

"Verrazano was found to be lame after the Eclipse and although it is not a significant injury, time would not permit us to have him ready for the Breeders' Cup, so the decision has been made to retire him. It's very disappointing as he ran two lovely races on his first two starts for us and we had been looking forward to a great season with him." said trainer Aidan O'Brien.

After some consideration was given to retire Verrazano after last season, Coolmore ultimately decided to ship the four-year-old to Europe in Aidan O'Brien's care and let him run on turf this season.  However, he did not win over the turf, but finished third to Olympic Glory in the Lockinge Stakes, ans was runner-up to Olympic Glory's stablemate Toronado in the Queen Anne Stakes at the Royal Ascot meeting. In his third start in Europe, and last start ever, he finished ninth in the Coral Eclipse to Mukhadram. 

The son of More Than Ready and Enchanted Rock, a daughter of Giant's Causeway, trained by Todd Pletcher was one of the leading colts of his generation, going undefeated into the Kentucky Derby, where he tasted defeat for the first time. He then won the Grade 3 Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth.

Verrazano returned to Grade 1 competition in the Haskell Invitational Stakes, also at Monmouth, which he won by nine and three quarter lengths, the biggest winning margin in the race's history. Verrazano started as the favourite in the Travers Stakes in a field of nine, including Kentucky Derby winner Orb and Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice. Verrazano faded in the straight and finished seventh behind the eventual American Three-year-old Champion Colt Will Take Charge. Verrazano's final race of the year 2013 was the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. Again he started as the favourite, but struggled to match the early pace and finished fourth behind Goldencents. With regular jockey John Velazquez injured, Verrazano was ridden for the first time by Javier Castellano in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct in late November. He finished third out of ten runners behind Flat Out.

He will stand at Ashford Stud in Kentucky next season. 

Happy, long retirement, big boy. And speedy recovery. <3 Announced in August 2014.
