About
Verona Affair is a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Scott Morrisey. She is by Star Turn out of Perilous Love and has secured one win to date. On 17 Jan 2026 at Doomben she earned her biggest triumph, claiming the $40,000 Qtis 3-y-o Maiden Plate. The horse has proved lucrative for bettors; a lifelong backing would have returned 171% on the investment.
