Re: Horse Racing
Toronado handed Ascot aim

Toronado is to be fitted with a tongue-tie in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot as he aims to bounce back from a disappointing run in the Qipco 2000 Guineas.
A hugely impressive winner of the Craven Stakes at Newmarket, Richard Hannon's three-year-old was expected to challenge hot favourite Dawn Approach in the season's opening Classic last weekend, but finished well beaten in fourth.
Assistant trainer Richard Hannon jnr said: "Toronado's blood has come back fine, but we suspect that he might have suffered a displaced palate, which would explain why he hit the wall so quickly, so we will tie his tongue down next time."
