Rene Piechulek warns against underestimating Torquator Tasso AGAIN at Ascot

Torquator Tasso will line up in Saturday's King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes at Ascot. The Marcel Weiss-trained colt stunned the Longchamp crowd last October when he beat a star-studded field, including Tarnawa and last year's king George and Derby winner Adayar.

Torquator Tasso is set to race at Ascot on Saturday. Marcel Weiss-trained colt stunned the Longchamp crowd last October when he won the Arc at odds of 80-1. Piechulek is trying to become the third German- trained King George winner. He had two previous winners of the race, Danedream in 2012 and Novellist in 2013. He wants to get the double this time. The colts needs quick pace and a long straight to succeed. Torquators Tasso has only run 13 times and has never won on his seasonal debut. They were well below par on their first run back in May.
