Thursday practices cancelled, jockeys on track on Friday 24th
Legnano – Last days of waiting, from Thursday, the day in which horses and jockeys will test the Mari track with the dispute of free practicewe will officially enter the Palio atmosphere, with the eight Contrade that will lead on the route, where The Palio will be held on Sunday 26ththe subjects chosen or still to be chosen to try to conquer the much desired Cross.
Let’s therefore begin to draw the scenario that we could find on Sunday with an overview divided by Contrada
The jockeys of the Palio
Legnarello With the confirmation of Antonio Siri it will be, on paper, the favorite pairing from a technical point of view, in via Dante they make no secret of their ambitions and certainly in order to aspire to victory they will have to deal with the Giallorossi.
Saint Erasmus Federico Arri if he will play it without any fear, if they present last year’s horse they can have their say, be careful!
Saint Magnus Dino Pes it is a guarantee of quality, the red-white-red are another contender for victory, always competitive and with what it takes to perform well.
The Flora Come back Giosuè Carboni with a new horse making its debut, we will need to understand the adaptability to the track but at Cascinone they are extremely confident.
San Bernardino Gavino Sanna can mix up the cards, a Contrada in good shape both as a jockey and as a horse (probably the one from last year) and therefore very dangerous.
Saint Dominic Silvano Mulas, choice of horse still top secret, he certainly won’t want to take part in a Palio as a supporting player, they will pay a lot of attention to the enemy in any case.
Saint Ambrose Giuseppe Zedde he always arrives in Legnano ready and prepared, a question mark on the choice of horse but knowing Gingillo he will want to compete in a Palio as a protagonist.
Saint martin Carlo Sanna has presented new horses to the trials, perhaps there are still some doubts about the choice, in any case in via XXIX Maggio they are very optimistic.
The Provaccia
For the Try it these are the jockeys chosen by the eight Contrade.
Legnarello Jacopo Pacini, Saint Erasmus Alessio Giannetti, Saint Magnus Nicolò Farnetani, The Flora Federico Fabbri, San Bernardino Alessio Bincoletto, Saint Dominic Giuseppe Piccinnu, Saint Ambrose Antonio Mula, Saint martin Giovanni Puddu.
