About
Verzain, a 2yo bay filly from Australia, is trained by Phillip Stokes. She is by Zousain out of Written Verse. As a stakes winner with $110,215 in earnings, she is seen as a horse of above‑average talent. On 11 Apr 2026 at Morphettville, Jacob Opperman rode her to her biggest victory, the $120,000 Without Fear Stakes, beating Ole Go. Punters have found her consistently profitable, and a career‑long backing would have yielded roughly a 300% ROI.
