1
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,405
There's Siena.

2
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,911
That's where it all happens..
the good and the bad.

3
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,755
Tower.

4
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:21,678
# The whole city knows by now #

5
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,836
# Goose.. remove your crown #

6
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,800
Goose.

7
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:35,045
# I told you, Tower #

8
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,551
# The Goose
can't be dominated #

9
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,000
At the height of summer.. the
Sienese sharpen their weapons

10
00:01:45,035 --> 00:01:48,277
to gain supremacy
in Piazza del Campo.

11
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,845
During the Palio, it's like
going back to the 1400s

12
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,750
when the city was divided into
separately governed districts.

13
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,045
Some districts are enemies
because of boundary disputes

14
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,554
and other districts are enemies
because of historical insults.

15
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,480
The Palio is life,
it's the essence of this city.

16
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Every Sienese is born..
raised and buried

17
00:02:34,315 --> 00:02:36,875
in the church of his district.

18
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,551
The Sienese have a love/hate
relationship with the jockeys.

19
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,113
The victorious jockey
is an idol..

20
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,198
but the losing jockey
is a traitor.

21
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,560
The jockey holds the district's
destiny in his hands.

22
00:03:24,595 --> 00:03:26,199
Ram.

23
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,485
She-Wolf.

24
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,725
The shenanigans begin

25
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,640
when the starting line up
is called out.

26
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,111
That's when the jockeys
start negotiating

27
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,673
to gain advantage or to
disadvantage their enemies.

28
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,840
It's much more
than a horse race.

29
00:03:53,875 --> 00:03:57,725
You need to use your brain.

30
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Cunning is more important
than strength.

31
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,074
Wait.

32
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,710
I rode 28 Palios
and won five times.

33
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,275
I started in 1978

34
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:33,711
and ended in 1996.

35
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,840
In that Palio.. Aceto and I
were declining,

36
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:48,320
on our way out.

37
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,913
Every 20 years,
somebody new comes in.

38
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,645
In these 90 seconds

39
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,357
you burn or realize
a year's work.

40
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,080
They are furiously
whipping each other.

41
00:05:47,115 --> 00:05:50,240
They're on the third lap.

42
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,405
Trecciolino..
a Sienese jockey...

43
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,955
Wins the Palio
for the first time.

44
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,960
Having been born in Siena,
the Palio is in my blood.

45
00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:14,591
I was born to be a Palio jockey.

46
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Gigi's first victory for Goose

47
00:06:20,115 --> 00:06:22,645
was my last Palio.

48
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,594
And from then on
he's kept on winning.

49
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,205
Gigi Bruschelli,

50
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,436
known as Trecciolino,
is victorious.

51
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,999
Trecciolino has shown once more
to be the greatest.

52
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,158
If you believe you can achieve
big things, you will.

53
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,280
The horse
wasn't considered strong.

54
00:07:28,315 --> 00:07:30,840
Now you see the difference

55
00:07:30,875 --> 00:07:33,958
a good jockey makes.

56
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,431
The King of the Square
has won again.

57
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Trecciolino has managed
the impossible yet again!

58
00:07:50,915 --> 00:07:53,600
This jockey seems invincible.

59
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,576
The favorite jockey
with the favorite horse.

60
00:08:04,611 --> 00:08:07,873
Gigi Bruschelli has won
his 11th victory.

61
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,800
Trecciolino has achieved
13 victories.

62
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,159
I've won 13 Palios.. so far!

63
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,960
Gigi Bruschelli
has monopolized the square.

64
00:08:38,995 --> 00:08:42,565
To win 13 times in 16 years

65
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,230
proves he's better off the horse
than on the horse.

66
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,239
Understanding the Sienese
and the Palio

67
00:09:10,274 --> 00:09:13,839
gave me an advantage
over outsider jockeys.

68
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,360
My name is Giovanni Atzeni,
nicknamed Tittia.

69
00:09:27,395 --> 00:09:28,725
I'm 28 years old.

70
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,440
I've ridden 18 Palios,
quite a lot.

71
00:09:31,475 --> 00:09:35,285
Only two victories for Goose.

72
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,845
I've ridden a few good Palios
but many terrible ones

73
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,796
but people have always forgiven
me and encouraged me to go on.

74
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,800
I was born in Germany.. my mom's
German and my dad's Sardinian.

75
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:59,600
Since I was five,
my dad kept horses as a hobby.

76
00:09:59,635 --> 00:10:05,313
After nursery
he'd teach me how to ride.

77
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,112
When I was little, I rode
in the local races in Sardinia.

78
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:16,720
I didn't speak
a word of Italian.

79
00:10:16,755 --> 00:10:19,792
It was difficult for me.

80
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,675
I watched the Palio on TV.

81
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,075
I hoped for it, it was a dream,
it seemed impossible.

82
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,440
I was lucky to meet
Gigi Bruschelli in Sardinia.

83
00:10:37,475 --> 00:10:39,205
He spotted me
at a local horse race

84
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,712
and suggested I come to Siena
and give it a go.

85
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,000
I arrived at 17
and was with Gigi for two years.

86
00:10:50,035 --> 00:10:54,040
I worked every day
from dawn till dusk.

87
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,440
I worked hard so as not
to think of my family.

88
00:11:00,475 --> 00:11:03,000
I missed them.

89
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,433
Gigi Bruschelli taught me a lot.

90
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,994
He perfected my bareback skills.

91
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,317
He taught me
how to live in this city.

92
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:33,040
It is said you
are against Bruschelli.

93
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,045
I'm against nobody.

94
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,325
I work for myself
and the districts I race for.

95
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,276
They all become competitors
when they leave my stable.

96
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,560
My problem with
the younger jockeys is

97
00:11:56,595 --> 00:11:59,805
that they don't have the balls

98
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,878
to overthrow the regime
of Gigi Bruschelli.

99
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,565
If my boy doesn't go up
that hill properly

100
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,480
when he gets off his horse,
I'll break his neck.

101
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Now I train Federico, I hope
he'll be a good Palio jockey

102
00:12:20,515 --> 00:12:24,840
and that he'll debut
in the Piazza next year,

103
00:12:24,875 --> 00:12:27,000
but it will be difficult.

104
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,420
You did very well, Federico.

105
00:12:37,455 --> 00:12:39,760
The horse did very well, too.

106
00:12:39,795 --> 00:12:41,605
We're doing well.

107
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,280
You need to concentrate
on the start.

108
00:12:45,315 --> 00:12:47,476
Let's take the bridle off.

109
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,725
I'm in town.

110
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,514
You will find me at Sergio's.

111
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,637
Do you remember this?

112
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,605
Amazing! 1978.

113
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,597
This is your first Palio.

114
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,179
- I'm moved.. I swear.
- Poor darling.

115
00:13:21,214 --> 00:13:25,439
- How old were you?
I was 24.

116
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,725
"Bastiano riding Urbino
scored

117
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,965
an exciting victory for Forest.
Forecasts overturned. "

118
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
All the experts thought that
I would fall at the first bend.

119
00:13:45,035 --> 00:13:49,600
- You did almost fall.
- Don't talk bullshit.. where?

120
00:13:49,635 --> 00:13:51,165
At the Casato bend.

121
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,340
What the hell
are you talking about?

122
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:55,445
- Are you drunk?
- No.. I'm not.

123
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,920
When I reached that bend,
I stooped down.

124
00:13:58,955 --> 00:14:02,685
Let me show you the photos.

125
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,280
I had to avoid the flag.
I did this.

126
00:14:06,315 --> 00:14:09,840
That's funny.
Here it is!

127
00:14:09,875 --> 00:14:12,605
Who's this?

128
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,085
It's me,
but I'm not close to falling.

129
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,600
- It's the horse that stumbled.
- Yes.. the horse.

130
00:14:17,635 --> 00:14:19,765
The horse is close to stumbling.

131
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,759
Don't speak badly about
the horse that made you famous.

132
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,125
You should recognize him.

133
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,640
This is Aceto..
look how ugly he was.

134
00:14:29,675 --> 00:14:32,120
I can't believe
we're friends now.

135
00:14:32,155 --> 00:14:33,520
Look at his face.

136
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:42,040
Aceto holds the record
for winning the most Palios.

137
00:14:42,075 --> 00:14:47,115
14 Palios is a very difficult
record to break.

138
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,592
Aceto was my biggest enemy.

139
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,040
He gave money to his allies

140
00:14:56,075 --> 00:14:58,685
who would attack me

141
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,758
between the ropes
or while I was riding.

142
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,600
The world turns
because of love and hate.

143
00:15:08,635 --> 00:15:11,877
I didn't love him, I hated him

144
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:15,085
and this made me feel good.

145
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Even when I lost, if I managed
to make him lose too..

146
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,900
it gave me great pleasure.

147
00:15:23,935 --> 00:15:26,560
It was a real turn-on.

148
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,920
We're entering the kingdom
of Andrea Degortes..

149
00:15:32,955 --> 00:15:34,639
nicknamed Aceto.

150
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,565
Nothing better to do
on a rainy day?

151
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,800
The Palio is not about riding
skills, it's about the game.

152
00:15:49,835 --> 00:15:52,725
If it were just about
riding skills,

153
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,878
I'd have won 30 Palios and
Bruschelli would've won three.

154
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,060
Aceto makes history..

155
00:16:07,095 --> 00:16:09,325
the most expert jockey.

156
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,756
He's done it again..
a dramatic race.

157
00:16:13,791 --> 00:16:18,152
His 14th Palio,
he's broken all records!

158
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,685
I duped the whole world.

159
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,520
Like Attila, where my horse
trod, no grass would grow.

160
00:16:26,555 --> 00:16:30,070
I'm number one..
I can face anyone.

161
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,320
I'm used to sitting
at the head of the table.

162
00:16:36,355 --> 00:16:37,965
Always.

163
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,885
When Pavarotti came here..

164
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,685
I sat at the head of the table,
not him.

165
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,240
If you're a number-one bandit..
then you're like me,

166
00:16:45,275 --> 00:16:47,760
but if you're a shitty bandit,
you can get lost.

167
00:16:47,795 --> 00:16:50,440
If you're like Maradona,
then we can talk.

168
00:16:50,475 --> 00:16:53,319
But Bruschelli is a nobody!

169
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:04,190
No doubt Gigi
wants to beat Aceto's record.

170
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,485
To equal Aceto's record..
he needs one more win.

171
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:17,391
So July and August are vital
for him to beat the record.

172
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,160
It took me five years

173
00:17:21,195 --> 00:17:23,765
to understand the Palio.

174
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,033
First you have to get
into the mindset of the Sienese.

175
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,238
The Palio is a game.. not a race.

176
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,957
At first I thought it was just
a race.. but there's more to it.

177
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:47,317
The Sienese work 365 days a year
on the Palio.

178
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,638
The district wins
a painted cloth banner.

179
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,873
The glory.

180
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,473
The district doesn't win money,
it's the jockey who wins money.

181
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,445
But if you want to win

182
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,712
you have to pay off
other districts.

183
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,640
As captain..
you have a responsibility

184
00:18:39,675 --> 00:18:42,805
to your district.

185
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,914
You think about the Palio
every single day.

186
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,240
During the winter,
the captain and his lieutenants

187
00:18:54,275 --> 00:18:59,960
must plan the Palio,
but only fate

188
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,765
will decide if it all goes well.

189
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,565
A captain
could do everything right,

190
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,800
but if the jockey gets it wrong..
or sells himself

191
00:19:12,835 --> 00:19:15,156
he'll mess up the plan.

192
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,100
The jockeys are not trusted.

193
00:19:22,135 --> 00:19:25,920
A victorious jockey is loved

194
00:19:25,955 --> 00:19:28,685
but a losing jockey

195
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,916
might be considered corrupt.

196
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,420
This year I really have to win

197
00:19:44,455 --> 00:19:48,840
or people will want someone new.

198
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,120
His name is Guess,
he's 11 years old.

199
00:20:05,155 --> 00:20:07,510
He's very healthy.

200
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,511
He's run a few Palios
but always been unlucky.

201
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,960
In his first Palio,
he finished third.

202
00:20:19,995 --> 00:20:21,838
He lacked experience.

203
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:27,991
Then last year,
he was second at the start.

204
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,480
Reaching the San Martino bend.

205
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,077
His angle was wrong..
so he fell and caused a pile up.

206
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320
I've trained this horse
for years.

207
00:21:00,355 --> 00:21:02,755
I hope he'll be selected.

208
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:08,873
Go, big bum.

209
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,645
Siena is the only place

210
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,160
where a horse can win
without a jockey.

211
00:21:15,195 --> 00:21:17,720
What counts is the horse.

212
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,445
Gigi Bruschelli has fallen.

213
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,000
His riderless horse has won!

214
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,510
The horse has won
without Bruschelli.

215
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,405
13 Palios?

216
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,140
He's won 12 Palios, not 13.

217
00:21:41,175 --> 00:21:43,840
Don't count the riderless win.

218
00:21:43,875 --> 00:21:45,885
Look at my pictures.

219
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,800
Who's on the horse
in all my victories?

220
00:21:48,835 --> 00:21:50,365
You.

221
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,965
If you'd seen a photo
without a jockey.

222
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,380
you would've asked..
"Who was riding that horse?"

223
00:21:56,415 --> 00:21:59,760
I bet Bruschelli says that
he wants to win 14 Palios.

224
00:21:59,795 --> 00:22:01,485
Tell him to forget it.

225
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,320
He's won because of one reason.

226
00:22:04,355 --> 00:22:06,445
He's been riding alone.

227
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,280
Many of the jockeys
are his allies.

228
00:22:10,315 --> 00:22:14,045
Once we stopped
he really took power.

229
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,074
he took the keys to the city
and began his reign.

230
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,725
Have you cleaned her?

231
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,085
He embedded himself

232
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:25,760
alongside boys
from his own stable.

233
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,765
Do we have Naike?

234
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,474
Naike, Osama,
Polonsky.. Mocambo.

235
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,405
Gigi Bruschelli
is like an old lion

236
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,912
who has a harem of districts
at his disposal.

237
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,360
No doubt the captains

238
00:22:53,395 --> 00:22:57,085
prefer certain jockeys.

239
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:01,920
There are many strategies
and deals.

240
00:23:01,955 --> 00:23:04,645
I can't really talk about this.

241
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:10,120
Aceto and Bastiano
can talk more about it.

242
00:23:10,155 --> 00:23:12,555
The retired jockeys.

243
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,631
When I'll retire
I'll be more open about it.

244
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,150
Fede.. keep your hands low
and your knees high.

245
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,912
Let her run.

246
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,645
You have good posture..

247
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,680
but to be a great Palio jockey,

248
00:23:38,715 --> 00:23:41,085
not a mediocre jockey,

249
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:45,880
you need balls.
Not small balls, big balls!

250
00:23:45,915 --> 00:23:50,685
So, less Facebook, less texting.

251
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,560
Possibly more screwing..
but mostly concentrate.

252
00:23:55,595 --> 00:23:57,365
I want you to be the best

253
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,495
because my reputation
is at stake.

254
00:24:00,530 --> 00:24:03,590
So less chatting and more balls.

255
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,860
This morning
there are the first trials

256
00:24:42,895 --> 00:24:45,520
for inexperienced jockeys
and horses

257
00:24:45,555 --> 00:24:47,605
to try out the Piazza.

258
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,838
This happens only twice a year.

259
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,205
You must be like

260
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,165
a gladiator in the Colosseum.

261
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,240
Be ready to take on
a mortal challenge.

262
00:25:01,275 --> 00:25:04,565
I want you
to be very determined,

263
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,071
not like a granny
shopping for cucumbers.

264
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,005
I started skipping days
at school

265
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,876
so I thought
I might as well go for it.

266
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,112
My dream is to be
a Palio jockey.

267
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,076
I caught
this beautiful sickness.

268
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,038
Everybody out!

269
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,857
A jockey mustn't fear injury.

270
00:25:41,892 --> 00:25:44,834
He must be ready to win or die.

271
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,805
You mustn't get
the trajectory wrong.

272
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,045
Horses must pass through
a 1.5-meter space.

273
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,880
If you don't get it right,
you'll hit the columns.

274
00:26:28,915 --> 00:26:30,678
Federico knows this.

275
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:00,045
What can I do?

276
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,800
I told him not to take it
too tight.

277
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,965
It's not up to us
to worry about the boy.

278
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,357
I never worried about myself..
how can I worry about him?

279
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,925
To do this job..
he can't be delicate.

280
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,920
There are many ways to fall.
You fell like a gentleman.

281
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,805
- Did you hurt yourself?
No, nothing.

282
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,440
- Maybe your arm hurts a bit?
- I was better off before.

283
00:27:41,475 --> 00:27:44,880
This earth burns you.

284
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,240
# Owl's whip is high up #

285
00:27:54,275 --> 00:27:59,037
# We hate Unicorn #

286
00:27:59,072 --> 00:28:03,765
# We are Unicorn #

287
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,139
# When we arrive
in the square #

288
00:28:08,174 --> 00:28:12,479
# Roll out the red carpet
for us #

289
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,760
The horse is allocated
to the district

290
00:28:20,795 --> 00:28:23,725
four days before the race.

291
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:29,040
The top jockeys wait
to see where the horses end up.

292
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,005
The best jockey

293
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,794
is called by the district
that gets the best horse.

294
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,755
Five.

295
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,960
Shell.

296
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,279
One.

297
00:28:55,314 --> 00:28:56,798
Ram.

298
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,795
Seven.

299
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,989
She-Wolf.

300
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,119
Porcupine.

301
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,755
Unicorn.

302
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,840
Once you know
how good your horse is..

303
00:29:22,875 --> 00:29:25,805
then you decide what to aim for.

304
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,472
Either to block your enemy
or to go for the win.

305
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,113
Eight.

306
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,160
Goose.

307
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,511
For the past three
years, I've ridden for Goose.

308
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,760
My horse was allocated
to the district I know.

309
00:30:09,795 --> 00:30:12,840
We have an excellent
relationship.

310
00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:14,752
A stroke of luck.

311
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,405
I am riding for this district.

312
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,753
I have to try and win but also
to stop our rival.. Tower.

313
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,800
We have connected on a personal
level with Giovanni.

314
00:30:37,835 --> 00:30:39,796
I really consider him a friend.

315
00:30:39,831 --> 00:30:41,757
He's like a member of Goose.

316
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,045
This is the "Nerbo"

317
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,440
that the jockeys
hit each other with.

318
00:30:48,475 --> 00:30:49,880
On the face and the hands

319
00:30:49,915 --> 00:30:51,845
or on the head.

320
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,005
But on the face
or on the hands.. it hurts.

321
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,440
You're an expert on this whip.
What's it made of?

322
00:30:59,475 --> 00:31:01,280
The technical term.. Bernardino

323
00:31:01,315 --> 00:31:02,497
In your own words.

324
00:31:02,532 --> 00:31:03,680
This Nerbo is made of.

325
00:31:03,715 --> 00:31:05,565
- Of...
- Of...

326
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,200
The phallus of the...

327
00:31:08,235 --> 00:31:10,437
Which animal is it?

328
00:31:10,472 --> 00:31:12,605
- The ox.
- The ox.

329
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,440
It's stretched
with a weight and dried.

330
00:31:16,475 --> 00:31:21,125
Originally
it's short and stubby.

331
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,110
- Yours would be like that.
- You have a mini-Nerbo.

332
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,520
For the four days of the Palio..
we live in Siena

333
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:33,417
in the district
that we ride for.

334
00:31:33,452 --> 00:31:36,245
We give them our mobile phone.

335
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,165
We are watched
by three bodyguards.

336
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,600
You're always with them..
even when you sleep.

337
00:31:44,635 --> 00:31:46,637
We are sort of kidnapped.

338
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,232
Because jockeys might take
bribes from other districts.

339
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,920
Jockeys in Siena
are considered assassins.

340
00:32:00,955 --> 00:32:03,645
Mercenaries..
because they're paid.

341
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,600
They're not always loyal
to the district they ride for.

342
00:32:07,635 --> 00:32:09,085
Bastard!

343
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,759
Son of a bitch!

344
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,160
That zombie pisses me off.

345
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:28,240
Gigi pisses me off..
he'll screw us up next time.

346
00:32:28,275 --> 00:32:30,457
Cool it.. ladies..
don't get excited.

347
00:32:30,492 --> 00:32:32,605
When was the last time
Tortoise won?

348
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,420
In August 2010..
we won with the Emperor.

349
00:32:35,455 --> 00:32:38,200
- Who's the Emperor?
- Gigi Bruschelli.

350
00:32:38,235 --> 00:32:40,935
He manages to control Palios.

351
00:32:40,970 --> 00:32:43,636
He can control any situation.

352
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,325
To win a Palio
is very expensive.

353
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,515
Each district pays
with donations from its people.

354
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,520
# By force and for love #

355
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,230
The strongest love we have
is for our district.

356
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,595
It's unconditional love.

357
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:27,473
Gigi sees a chance
to win his 14th Palio.

358
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,991
We want to see him
with his whip high.

359
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,680
We can't fail.

360
00:33:38,715 --> 00:33:41,640
It will be so.

361
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,360
His neck hurts but I think
the problem is his posture.

362
00:34:02,395 --> 00:34:06,485
My impression is that
he gets defensive.

363
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:12,200
The problem is not the shoulder..
rather his neck extension.

364
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,365
There is a thickening

365
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,445
on the left side
of the nuchal ligament.

366
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,840
- Maybe 'cause you...
- No.. I didn't force him.

367
00:34:23,875 --> 00:34:26,885
That's the way he is.

368
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,757
I haven't given him anything
this morning.

369
00:34:30,792 --> 00:34:34,594
Let's have a look
before you ride him.

370
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,718
A good horse or a bad horse
is all relative.

371
00:34:43,753 --> 00:34:49,156
What matters is a horse
that fits your strategy.

372
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,080
Porto Alabe..
go and return victorious!

373
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,205
To the Tortoise!

374
00:35:56,240 --> 00:36:00,000
Eeny.. meeny, miny.. moe..
catch a tiger by the toe.

375
00:36:00,035 --> 00:36:01,800
- Panther will win.
- Goose will.

376
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,405
Damn, I'm drunk.

377
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,040
Squeeze. We can all fit in!

378
00:36:31,075 --> 00:36:33,077
One, two.. three!

379
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,671
In Siena we're all crazy!

380
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,765
It's a muffled chaos to us.

381
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,560
From the outside..
it may look crazy.

382
00:37:20,595 --> 00:37:22,125
but to horse and jockey..

383
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,940
it feels like
a different dimension.

384
00:37:25,975 --> 00:37:29,685
It doesn't seem
like chaos to us.

385
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:34,720
I retreat into myself
and focus on what's to come.

386
00:37:34,755 --> 00:37:37,965
I could be riding a donkey..

387
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,913
and yet I feel
I'm the strongest.

388
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,912
It's life or death.

389
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,845
The inner courtyard
is beautiful

390
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,669
because you're in a bubble
away from the Piazza del Campo.

391
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:03,880
Outside, people are waiting
to cheer or judge you.

392
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:09,485
It's like a bullfight.

393
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,360
We're like bulls
entering the arena.

394
00:38:13,395 --> 00:38:17,200
Everybody has expectations
of me...

395
00:38:17,235 --> 00:38:19,760
me and my colleagues.. I mean.

396
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,837
The line-up
is determined by luck.

397
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:36,911
This mechanism was invented
to ensure absolute secrecy.

398
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,605
Once the horses come out..

399
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:33,040
the tube is opened
and the line-up is written down.

400
00:39:33,075 --> 00:39:35,920
If you have a bad position
between the ropes,

401
00:39:35,955 --> 00:39:40,445
if you end up
in the last positions,

402
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,838
your chances of victory
greatly diminish.

403
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,200
Ram.

404
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,753
She-Wolf.

405
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,240
Tower.

406
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,318
Porcupine.

407
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,593
Unicorn.

408
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,795
Owl.

409
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,952
Goose.

410
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,116
Wave.

411
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,320
Slowly.. Owl, slowly.

412
00:40:48,355 --> 00:40:50,537
No kicking.

413
00:40:50,572 --> 00:40:52,866
Panther go in.

414
00:40:52,901 --> 00:40:55,125
Slowly.. slowly.

415
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,205
Run-in-jockey,
whenever you want.

416
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:01,040
The start of the race
is determined

417
00:41:01,075 --> 00:41:03,237
by the last horse entering

418
00:41:03,272 --> 00:41:05,365
known as the run-in-horse.

419
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,792
He decides who'll have
a good start or a bad start.

420
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,480
The run-in-jockey
will probably have

421
00:41:13,515 --> 00:41:15,485
his enemy between the ropes.

422
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,834
His aim will be to catch
his enemy unprepared.

423
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,485
Between the ropes,

424
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,405
I kept my eye on my enemy..
Tower.

425
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,200
He had a better position
in the line-up.

426
00:41:31,235 --> 00:41:34,645
Run-in-jockey stay still!

427
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,760
Turn around, Goose.
Guys.. calm down.

428
00:41:38,795 --> 00:41:40,032
Get in.. Unicorn.

429
00:41:40,067 --> 00:41:41,270
Everybody out!

430
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,805
When it gets chaotic

431
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,436
the starter
will send them all back out.

432
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,460
They'll all go to
the run-in-jockey

433
00:42:00,495 --> 00:42:04,000
to bid money
in return for favors.

434
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,800
The Palio is a game
of legitimate corruption.

435
00:42:11,835 --> 00:42:15,600
Without corruption,
there's no Palio.

436
00:42:15,635 --> 00:42:20,914
All jockeys are corruptible.

437
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,360
We give our jockey
money to spend.

438
00:42:25,395 --> 00:42:28,485
The richest district
spends the most.

439
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,560
The jockey who bids the highest
should get the best start.

440
00:42:33,595 --> 00:42:35,995
Unicorn.

441
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,960
Owl.. don't push.

442
00:42:39,995 --> 00:42:41,817
Don't push.

443
00:42:41,852 --> 00:42:43,605
Easy, easy.

444
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,040
Unicorn.. you are fifth.

445
00:42:45,075 --> 00:42:46,645
Find your position.

446
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,798
Unicorn.. go back
to your position.

447
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,600
Run-in-jockey stay still.

448
00:42:54,635 --> 00:42:57,177
Come on, get in there, idiot!

449
00:42:57,212 --> 00:42:59,720
Who's the run-in-jockey,
Murtas?

450
00:42:59,755 --> 00:43:00,805
Maggot!

451
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,577
Murtas is the run-in-jockey.

452
00:43:03,612 --> 00:43:06,314
He's in cahoots with Bruschelli.

453
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:15,400
Bruschelli does what no
other has done.. not even Aceto.

454
00:43:15,435 --> 00:43:19,680
He's created a network
of absolute power.

455
00:43:19,715 --> 00:43:21,990
Go big.. Murtas.

456
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:30,205
He comes from
that stable, just as I did.

457
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:33,880
It's only his second Palio,
and he's the run-in-jockey.

458
00:43:33,915 --> 00:43:38,600
Perhaps too much responsibility
for him to handle.

459
00:43:38,635 --> 00:43:42,840
So he looked for guidance
from his master.

460
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,960
It's a false start.

461
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,800
The run-in-horse
was still far from the ropes.

462
00:44:00,835 --> 00:44:04,085
Unicorn started
before the run-in.

463
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,845
Unicorn called the start.

464
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,874
Clearly it was Gigi's strategy.

465
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,319
Ram. She-Wolf.

466
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,725
The Palio is a battle.

467
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,280
Between the ropes,
that's who I truly am.

468
00:44:33,315 --> 00:44:36,800
All your aggression
and courage comes out.

469
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,040
We are Goose.

470
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,713
We are different.

471
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,519
We are the strongest.

472
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,720
No, no, no.

473
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,935
We won with our heart.

474
00:48:15,970 --> 00:48:18,591
Giovanni, you're great.

475
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,554
It's hard
to explain the feeling.

476
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,516
You work all year long
for those 90 seconds.

477
00:48:28,551 --> 00:48:31,952
If you are in front,
it seems never-ending.

478
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,471
But if you are at the back,
it's over in a second.

479
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,115
I got the Casato bend wrong.

480
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,818
That's when I went for it.

481
00:48:47,853 --> 00:48:49,917
My enemy was on the inside.

482
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,365
If I don't get this right,

483
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,080
even though we've been
friends for years..

484
00:48:57,115 --> 00:48:58,799
the Goose people
will chop me up.

485
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,120
An incredible Palio.

486
00:49:04,155 --> 00:49:07,005
A beautiful race.

487
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,900
Gigi Bruschelli
was nowhere to be seen.

488
00:49:09,935 --> 00:49:12,725
Giovanni was really on fire.

489
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,380
He wasn't there
just to take part.

490
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,965
He was there to be the champion.

491
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,552
He was a gladiator..
unlike the other jockeys.

492
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,958
He wasn't there for the money.

493
00:49:27,993 --> 00:49:30,156
He was there to be number one.

494
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:46,120
# Thank you.. Mother of Mercy #

495
00:49:46,155 --> 00:49:51,245
# Protect us from the enemy #

496
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,200
# And at the hour of death..
let us rise #

497
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,805
it's all or nothing.

498
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,120
I'm not interested
in mediocrity.

499
00:50:07,155 --> 00:50:09,476
It's all or nothing.

500
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,195
I must win both Palios now.

501
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,074
July was an important step.

502
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:28,000
But August could make my career.

503
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,565
You don't
get used to losing

504
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,925
and you don't
get used to winning.

505
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,405
You don't always get
the horse you want..

506
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,559
but if you are a professional..
you have to deal with it.

507
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,358
Good morning.. Silvano.

508
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,038
Giovanni, take Federico
for a ride with you.

509
00:51:08,073 --> 00:51:11,757
Federico.. come here
so you can learn something.

510
00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:17,994
Watch closely and learn.

511
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,640
Stay with him, Federico.

512
00:51:22,675 --> 00:51:24,154
Keep together.

513
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,431
Go.. Giovanni!

514
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,800
Giovanni.. he was trying
to push you in the ditch.

515
00:51:33,835 --> 00:51:36,520
Fede, why were you
pushing him to the side?

516
00:51:36,555 --> 00:51:38,125
No.. I wasn't.

517
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,845
Now he's claiming
he couldn't see you.

518
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,360
He wanted to kill me
before the August Palio.

519
00:51:44,395 --> 00:51:46,636
Someone paid him to do that.

520
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,220
Giovanni, have a slice of tart.

521
00:51:51,255 --> 00:51:52,885
No.. thanks.. just the coffee.

522
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,365
Just a slice of tart.
- No, thank you.

523
00:51:55,400 --> 00:52:00,245
You were like a gladiator
in this great Palio.

524
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,840
- Something never seen before.
Never seen before?

525
00:52:03,875 --> 00:52:06,365
Not like that.. never.

526
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,280
Someone who parries
with the whip,

527
00:52:09,315 --> 00:52:12,125
with the horse.. with the hand,

528
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,520
you fought, you overtook your
enemy on the inside

529
00:52:16,555 --> 00:52:18,405
you blocked the riderless horse

530
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,680
and She-Wolf's horse
with your hand.

531
00:52:20,715 --> 00:52:23,965
It was an amazing Palio,

532
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,520
but I have to say
it was different from the Palios

533
00:52:27,555 --> 00:52:31,120
of the '70s and '80s
when I was a jockey.

534
00:52:31,155 --> 00:52:33,725
These days you have to deal with

535
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,960
a jockey like Bruschelli who is
almost at the end of his career,

536
00:52:36,995 --> 00:52:39,325
so I believe it was
quite simple for you.

537
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:43,140
While I had Aceto,
Canapino.. Cianchino.. Pesse.

538
00:52:43,175 --> 00:52:46,920
The only one you had to
beat was him. Am I wrong?

539
00:52:46,955 --> 00:52:50,840
If you say so,
but I wouldn't dare say it.

540
00:52:50,875 --> 00:52:53,560
Who should I watch out
for in August?

541
00:52:53,595 --> 00:52:55,565
Gigi.

542
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,434
Gigi, he is a man
with a mission.

543
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,638
Good afternoon.. how are you?

544
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,605
Gigi Bruschelli

545
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,725
trains some of my horses.

546
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,840
And that's what's sort
of happens in this area.

547
00:53:16,875 --> 00:53:19,230
Trainers tend to be jockeys.

548
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,180
This is Osama.

549
00:53:22,215 --> 00:53:23,965
This is Montego.

550
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,200
And that's Mocambo.
Mocambo.

551
00:53:27,235 --> 00:53:29,396
He's the shyest one.

552
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,565
Despite the fact

553
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,957
that I've had wonderful horses
for 25 years.. I've never won.

554
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,960
The Palio, it's a game
played by people

555
00:53:41,995 --> 00:53:45,285
where the horse
is the unknown element.

556
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,300
Everything else is something
that humans can trade.

557
00:53:48,335 --> 00:53:51,280
They can trade positions,
they can trade favors.

558
00:53:51,315 --> 00:53:54,217
But they can't get inside
the horse's mind.

559
00:53:54,252 --> 00:53:57,120
It's a desperate attempt
to control fate.

560
00:53:57,155 --> 00:53:58,805
I've known Gigi forever.

561
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:03,080
He understands horses better
than any jockey before,

562
00:54:03,115 --> 00:54:06,756
let alone the strange game
that the Palio is.

563
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,420
All
jockeys make a horse wish list

564
00:54:15,455 --> 00:54:19,007
and this list
goes to the captains,

565
00:54:19,042 --> 00:54:22,525
but they only consider
Gigi's list.

566
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,216
He decides which horses
should be selected

567
00:54:26,251 --> 00:54:29,872
and where certain jockeys
should ride.

568
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,440
Then there's the issue
of the horses.

569
00:54:36,475 --> 00:54:38,325
Naike..

570
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,045
Lo Specialista.. Morosita.

571
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,960
There'll be yet another
Bruschelli-trained horse.

572
00:54:42,995 --> 00:54:45,880
You already know
which you'd like to mount

573
00:54:45,915 --> 00:54:47,645
and you don't have to tell me.

574
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,540
Which horse would you go for
in August?

575
00:54:50,575 --> 00:54:53,365
Among these ones?
Morosita.

576
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:59,317
As you saw in the July Palio..
Morosita is a strong horse.

577
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,320
Remember.. she was
the run-in-horse.

578
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,719
At the San Martino bend..
she was third.

579
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,845
She's a good horse.

580
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,960
Now you've got the bit between
your teeth, don't let go.

581
00:55:21,995 --> 00:55:23,765
As soon as you relax..

582
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,725
the others are ready to...

583
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,565
- Do you know what I mean?
Perfectly.

584
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,920
Work hard and keep
on doing what you did in July

585
00:55:32,955 --> 00:55:34,725
'cause this job
doesn't last long..

586
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,925
but as long as it lasts,
keep hammering.

587
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,005
Gigi's very, very focused.

588
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,325
He has won 13 Palios
in 16 years.

589
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,720
I hope that he wins again
and matches Aceto..

590
00:55:48,755 --> 00:55:51,205
but it's not easy.

591
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:53,480
My second and third victories

592
00:55:53,515 --> 00:55:55,685
were with horses I trained.

593
00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:58,960
There are too many photos
to get them all in frame.

594
00:55:58,995 --> 00:56:02,217
Too many? Not at all.

595
00:56:02,252 --> 00:56:05,405
There aren't enough.

596
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,320
I need to get on with it
to get more photos.

597
00:56:09,355 --> 00:56:12,205
You need
a couple more photos?

598
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:15,580
"A couple"?
I need more than "a couple".

599
00:56:15,615 --> 00:56:18,920
I don't think "a couple"
are enough.

600
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,925
Because I feel I can go on.

601
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,192
To beat the record?
- Just because I feel like it.

602
00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:33,280
Gigi will want revenge
in August.

603
00:56:33,315 --> 00:56:35,565
No doubt.. goddamn it.

604
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,280
It's going to be a battle.

605
00:56:37,315 --> 00:56:39,033
No doubt. No doubt.

606
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:45,725
Are you scared?
- No, I'm not scared.

607
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,840
Age is on my side. The others
should be afraid of me.

608
00:56:48,875 --> 00:56:51,040
That's what I honestly think.

609
00:56:51,075 --> 00:56:53,765
But cut that.

610
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,480
He's at the end of his
career.. you're at the beginning.

611
00:56:57,515 --> 00:56:59,965
At 28, I'm in my prime.

612
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,117
- Don't you think?
Yes.

613
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,819
Come on, we have to go.

614
00:57:12,854 --> 00:57:15,279
Let's go and get ready.

615
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,365
He was cheeky after the Palio.

616
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,165
He was so happy,
he jumped off the sofa.

617
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,715
He cut his forehead
and they had to stitch him.

618
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,640
- Where's dad taking you?
- To the seaside.

619
00:57:30,675 --> 00:57:32,365
Where?
- The seaside!

620
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,160
- Listen.
What do you want to be

621
00:57:34,195 --> 00:57:36,617
- when you grow up?
- A jockey.

622
00:57:36,652 --> 00:57:39,026
A jockey? You're crazy!

623
00:57:39,061 --> 00:57:41,365
No, please.. little one.

624
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:42,960
Do you ever put
him on a horse?

625
00:57:42,995 --> 00:57:44,912
Always.. his horse is Guess.

626
00:57:44,947 --> 00:57:46,830
- Who's your horse?
- Guess.

627
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:49,958
Let's go to the seaside.

628
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,079
Gimme the keys.

629
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,059
Where will you put them?

630
00:57:57,094 --> 00:57:59,679
Let's hitch up your T-shirt.

631
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,594
To the seaside!

632
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,840
Come here.. Gina.

633
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,191
My friends are in love with you.

634
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,800
You have beautiful daughters.

635
00:58:48,835 --> 00:58:51,640
He said something different.

636
00:58:51,675 --> 00:58:53,393
You're all in love.

637
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,645
All in love?
- With Gina.

638
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:00,760
- This better not be true.
- No.. no.. no.

639
00:59:00,795 --> 00:59:02,594
No.. no.. no.. no.. no.

640
00:59:02,629 --> 00:59:04,394
Keep your distance!

641
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,272
Here are photos of him as a boy.

642
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:10,125
This is Giovanni.

643
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,119
when he'd just started out.

644
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,680
When I was little,
we were not well off at home,

645
00:59:19,715 --> 00:59:22,645
so we'd go to the local races..

646
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:27,118
desperate to put food
on the table.

647
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,600
Is Giovanni
a hero for you?

648
00:59:36,635 --> 00:59:38,565
A hero?

649
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:42,037
I would've preferred him
to get two degrees.

650
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,520
We'll see if he's a hero
in 20 years.

651
00:59:46,555 --> 00:59:48,445
What do you mean?

652
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,080
It's just a job..
I was a builder, he's a jockey.

653
00:59:52,115 --> 00:59:55,400
A hero is when you save someone.

654
00:59:55,435 --> 00:59:58,240
He's just saving himself.

655
00:59:58,275 --> 01:00:01,485
Trying to survive.

656
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,420
He was lucky
to have the best teacher.

657
01:00:05,455 --> 01:00:10,167
That's right,
we owe a lot to Bruschelli.

658
01:00:10,202 --> 01:00:14,880
The Palio doesn't work
the way you think.

659
01:00:14,915 --> 01:00:18,165
So we have to thank him

660
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,034
and all the people
who've helped him.

661
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,877
Bruschelli...

662
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,805
Do you think
he'll become like Bruschelli?

663
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,405
I don't think so,
they have different characters.

664
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,719
Giovanni's an introvert but he's
tough when he needs to be.

665
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,234
Oh, yes.

666
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,880
What will you do this afternoon?

667
01:00:44,915 --> 01:00:46,200
I don't know.

668
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,360
They don't understand
the risk they're taking.

669
01:01:00,395 --> 01:01:03,560
I told them.. you need
a minimum of 70,000 Euros

670
01:01:03,595 --> 01:01:05,357
to control the run-in-jockey

671
01:01:05,392 --> 01:01:07,119
or else they'll screw you over.

672
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:22,445
Gigi rides for a high price

673
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,180
and uses some of that money
to pay other jockeys.

674
01:01:26,215 --> 01:01:29,880
We're in favor of change
and against the power.

675
01:01:29,915 --> 01:01:33,125
Against the power, but...

676
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,605
Don't tell me you're in favor
of Gigi's power?

677
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,680
I'm not a fan of Gigi himself,
but I like the way he wins.

678
01:01:40,715 --> 01:01:46,360
Everything's unfolding
according to his strategy.

679
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:52,640
You can see it by which
horses are selected

680
01:01:52,675 --> 01:01:55,137
and which horses are rejected.

681
01:01:55,172 --> 01:01:57,565
How about the horses?

682
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,160
Well.. there's 32 to choose
from and we only need ten.

683
01:02:01,195 --> 01:02:03,125
Are there good ones?

684
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:08,475
The level is not very high
mainly due to inexperience.

685
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,205
If he wins on Friday..

686
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,597
it's the umpteenth proof
he's controlling everything.

687
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,445
As long as you're criticized..

688
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:29,120
as long as you're
the talk of the town,

689
01:02:29,155 --> 01:02:34,240
it's good.. it means they care..

690
01:02:34,275 --> 01:02:36,072
so I welcome it.

691
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:48,355
Shell.

692
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,880
Bruschelli is going to win,
big time!

693
01:03:05,915 --> 01:03:09,213
He must think Shell
has the best horse,

694
01:03:09,248 --> 01:03:12,511
even though
it's Oppio's first Palio.

695
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:16,765
This is Oppio,

696
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,405
a six-year-old grey,

697
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,845
born in my garden in Siena.

698
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,445
He is destined to run the Palio.

699
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,480
I created him especially
for this little game.

700
01:03:27,515 --> 01:03:28,834
The Palio.

701
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,820
I'd like him to do well,
but not to win

702
01:03:35,855 --> 01:03:40,240
because he won't get to run
the Palio again

703
01:03:40,275 --> 01:03:42,885
if he wins straight away.

704
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,680
In Siena..
the fastest horses are rejected.

705
01:03:46,715 --> 01:03:48,494
That's the way it is.

706
01:03:48,529 --> 01:03:50,273
It's all absurd in Siena.

707
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,045
It's dysfunctional.

708
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:02,580
If your horse is too fast..
it's rejected.

709
01:04:02,615 --> 01:04:07,080
If your horse is too slow,
it's rejected.

710
01:04:07,115 --> 01:04:09,390
So they're going for mediocrity.

711
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:16,685
Captains prefer mediocre horses
because

712
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:22,034
if all the horses are equal,
then the money deals prevail.

713
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:30,360
Gigi has benefited from deals
rather than from good horses.

714
01:04:30,395 --> 01:04:32,760
- What's your horse like?
- What's my horse like?

715
01:04:32,795 --> 01:04:35,320
- He's a horse.
- Holy Mary.

716
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,605
But what's he like?

717
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,800
- He's a horse.
- I know he's a horse.

718
01:04:40,835 --> 01:04:44,280
A good horse.. but a beginner.

719
01:04:44,315 --> 01:04:47,365
He's never run the Palio.

720
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,520
The best Palio jockey could've
chosen any horse he liked.

721
01:04:50,555 --> 01:04:53,085
He chose this one,
there must be a reason.

722
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,431
The district also happens to
have a lot of money to spend.

723
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,820
Whoever has the money will win.

724
01:05:04,855 --> 01:05:07,405
That's why he's gone to Shell!

725
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,640
Why didn't he ride
for Shell in July?

726
01:05:10,675 --> 01:05:12,565
Why didn't he?

727
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,991
'Cause they had Morosita..
and he doesn't like her.

728
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,725
There are
two schools of thought.

729
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,480
Either you go for strategies,
like Gigi does

730
01:05:22,515 --> 01:05:24,870
or you choose to ride
a good horse.

731
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:28,400
Wave.

732
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,605
This horse
could make all the difference.

733
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:52,680
When I saw she was allotted to
Wave, I called them immediately

734
01:05:52,715 --> 01:05:55,275
to go and ride for them.

735
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,005
People have been saying..

736
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:06,592
"He's good..
but he only wins for Goose. "

737
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,805
This really bothers me.

738
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,993
So this August,
I'm going to go for it.

739
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,480
They'll all help Gigi
and leave us alone.

740
01:06:22,515 --> 01:06:24,640
I'm not happy
that we've got Murtas.

741
01:06:24,675 --> 01:06:27,165
Murtas is a footstool.

742
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:32,320
He's there to block people
for Bruschelli.

743
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,260
The jockeys are both good

744
01:06:36,295 --> 01:06:38,067
and bad protagonists.

745
01:06:38,102 --> 01:06:39,805
The horse is loved

746
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,005
and the jockey is hated

747
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,979
and sometimes hate
is not just verbal.

748
01:06:47,014 --> 01:06:50,918
There are infamous events
from the past.

749
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,512
Jockeys were meat
to be butchered.

750
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,360
If you lose and your enemy wins..
you're considered corrupt.

751
01:07:07,395 --> 01:07:10,997
When Bruschelli won
his first Palio for Goose..

752
01:07:11,032 --> 01:07:14,716
I was riding for Tower
so my enemy had won.

753
01:07:14,751 --> 01:07:18,400
I was quickly smuggled
into a building..

754
01:07:18,435 --> 01:07:21,933
but the people saw where I went.

755
01:07:21,968 --> 01:07:25,431
I grabbed
two big kitchen knives.

756
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:28,605
It's the truth.

757
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,920
Come on, you were paid off.

758
01:07:30,955 --> 01:07:33,165
Your sister was paid off.

759
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:38,845
The police came to rescue me
at 10pm.

760
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:43,120
Even though I was protected..
there were 100 people against us

761
01:07:43,155 --> 01:07:46,400
who assaulted me
as soon as I got out.

762
01:07:46,435 --> 01:07:48,565
It's part of the game.

763
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,820
When we rode people spat on us.

764
01:07:50,855 --> 01:07:53,005
It means that you scare them.

765
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,874
If nobody spits at you..
you're worthless.

766
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,365
The jockey is just a mercenary.

767
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:04,740
A person with no patriotism..
no boundaries... nothing.

768
01:08:04,775 --> 01:08:09,080
The Palio is my passion..
but for them, it's just work.

769
01:08:09,115 --> 01:08:11,965
They're like prostitutes.

770
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,280
Once the jockey wins the Palio,
you throw him away.

771
01:08:15,315 --> 01:08:18,557
The horse is the core element
of the Palio.

772
01:08:19,480 --> 01:08:20,516
Eagle.

773
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,080
Everyone thought Bruschelli

774
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,765
was going to ride for Eagle.

775
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,800
The thing about Bruschelli is
that I didn't quite trust him..

776
01:08:45,835 --> 01:08:48,520
even though he always said
he'd ride for Eagle

777
01:08:48,555 --> 01:08:51,377
and I gave him a bit of money.

778
01:08:51,412 --> 01:08:54,165
When I went to speak to him..

779
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,880
he said.. "If you get a good
horse I'll ride for you. "

780
01:08:57,915 --> 01:09:02,320
- What happened?
- He knew our horse, Naike,

781
01:09:02,355 --> 01:09:05,325
hadn't trained for 20 days.

782
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,520
He knew 'cause
he trains that horse.

783
01:09:08,555 --> 01:09:11,911
Yes, Naike's from his stable.

784
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,845
And your jockey.. Gingillo,
how did he behave?

785
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:31,200
The first time he tried her..
he said she was unfit.

786
01:09:31,235 --> 01:09:32,565
He confirmed that the horse

787
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,240
hadn't been ridden
for a long time.

788
01:09:34,275 --> 01:09:36,630
Not since the last Palio.

789
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:42,245
Relationships don't count.

790
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:46,000
Why would a jockey
enter an untrained horse?

791
01:09:46,035 --> 01:09:47,805
Palio strategies.

792
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,340
If I bring a horse
knowing he's untrained,

793
01:09:50,375 --> 01:09:52,840
I know his condition,
but others don't.

794
01:09:52,875 --> 01:09:56,038
There's an underworld.

795
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,473
A hidden layer of secrecy.

796
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,005
Gigi is obviously the favorite.

797
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,965
Nicchio are spending
a lot of money.

798
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,880
Gigi is very clever and I'm sure
has organized himself very well.

799
01:10:13,915 --> 01:10:17,760
One the face of it, that's who's
going to win.. but, you know...

800
01:10:17,795 --> 01:10:19,837
It's all those attempts
to control fate.

801
01:10:19,872 --> 01:10:21,845
But Gigi has not got
the best horse.

802
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,005
No. He's got to do
everything else.

803
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,420
So if he wins
without the best horse..

804
01:10:26,455 --> 01:10:28,765
from a bad position..
it's pretty suspect.

805
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,560
If he does all of that, it's not
suspect, it's brilliant.

806
01:10:32,595 --> 01:10:36,315
It's the opposite.
It's exactly what they pay for.

807
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,560
I've never set foot
inside the cathedral.

808
01:10:57,595 --> 01:11:01,445
I've often gone past it
with my wife,

809
01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:04,439
but I will only go in
if I win an August Palio.

810
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,240
It's said that
the August Palio

811
01:11:08,275 --> 01:11:10,045
is the most important

812
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,549
because the jockey
is taken to the cathedral.

813
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,680
Statistically speaking,
the jockey who wins in July

814
01:11:17,715 --> 01:11:20,639
is unlikely
to win again in August.

815
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:35,560
# We're the ruler of the sky
In the Piazza we'll be first #

816
01:11:35,595 --> 01:11:38,160
# We're the most beautiful #

817
01:11:38,195 --> 01:11:40,165
# And have no equal #

818
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:46,080
# Our cock is the biggest
in the world #

819
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:57,915
I don't think Gigi
took me for a ride.

820
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:04,195
It was predictable behavior.

821
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:25,237
Naike, go and return victorious.

822
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,600
We're going to win tonight.

823
01:12:56,635 --> 01:12:58,836
I just have that feeling.

824
01:12:58,871 --> 01:13:01,037
You took drugs last night!

825
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:26,589
Goose.

826
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:31,240
Caterpillar.

827
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,400
Wave.

828
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:42,910
She-Wolf.

829
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:54,280
I heard She-Wolf has two
million to spend on the race.

830
01:13:54,315 --> 01:13:56,400
But I don't think they'll win.

831
01:13:56,435 --> 01:13:58,153
Tortoise.

832
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,000
Tower.

833
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:04,677
Shell.

834
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,113
Eagle.

835
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:15,914
Snail.

836
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,200
Stay calm.

837
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,829
Run-in-jockey, stay still.

838
01:14:26,440 --> 01:14:29,120
Move further down.. Eagle.
Go in.. Snail.

839
01:14:29,155 --> 01:14:30,325
Gigi?

840
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,040
Gigi got 200,000
just for riding.

841
01:14:33,075 --> 01:14:35,316
Screw your money, you rat!

842
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:38,790
Come on!

843
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,280
Out.. out.. out.. slowly.

844
01:14:45,315 --> 01:14:46,509
Go out slowly.

845
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,160
Giovanni
is trying to do a deal

846
01:15:18,195 --> 01:15:19,805
with the run-in-jockey.

847
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,080
But it will be difficult
to buy favors

848
01:15:23,115 --> 01:15:26,320
because Wave spent
all its money last year

849
01:15:26,355 --> 01:15:29,597
paying Gigi to win.

850
01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:33,635
Tower.

851
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:36,309
Shell.

852
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,955
Eagle.

853
01:15:41,990 --> 01:15:43,711
Stay calm.

854
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:51,237
Goose.

855
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,071
Run-in-jockey,
whenever you want.

856
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:04,874
Attention.

857
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:06,876
Keep quiet.

858
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:09,514
Keep quiet.

859
01:16:12,440 --> 01:16:13,920
Get ready.

860
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:18,034
Come on.

861
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,311
Run-in-jockey.. first warning.

862
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:39,845
Be quiet. Be quiet.
Be quiet.

863
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,720
Gigi is spending a lot
of money between the ropes.

864
01:16:42,755 --> 01:16:45,680
Look at the space he has
on either side.

865
01:16:45,715 --> 01:16:49,151
These favors
cost a lot of money.

866
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,919
Run-in-jockey, come on!
Second warning!

867
01:19:17,480 --> 01:19:21,725
Wave is going to win.

868
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,200
Giovanni Atzeni is winning

869
01:19:24,235 --> 01:19:26,640
his second Palio this year.

870
01:19:26,675 --> 01:19:29,037
This never happens!

871
01:19:29,072 --> 01:19:31,365
The Wave has won.

872
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,885
Giovanni Atzeni has won again.

873
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,992
Both Palios this year!

874
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:18,952
I saw from above
that I'd realized my dream.

875
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:39,271
I dreamed
of winning both Palios at 28.

876
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,325
I did it.

877
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:49,240
Am I dreaming?
Am I going to wake up?

878
01:20:49,275 --> 01:20:50,594
It was incredible.

879
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:07,549
Then the cathedral.

880
01:21:08,480 --> 01:21:09,994
It was my first time.

881
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:21,320
I vowed to only go in
when I won in August.

882
01:21:21,355 --> 01:21:23,880
It took me ten years.

883
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:33,400
It's upsetting when you lose
the Palios you should have won.

884
01:22:33,435 --> 01:22:38,125
The ones you'd won on paper.

885
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:42,393
If you don't succeed in those,
it hurts.

886
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:47,725
What about Giovanni?

887
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,300
He thanks you
for bringing him here.

888
01:22:50,335 --> 01:22:52,805
That's true,
he was just 17

889
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,760
when I saw him riding
on the neck of a horse.

890
01:22:55,795 --> 01:23:00,005
I was impressed
by something he had.

891
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:04,273
I thought he could prove his
worth and become somebody.

892
01:23:06,480 --> 01:23:09,040
It must have been
a dream for Giovanni

893
01:23:09,075 --> 01:23:10,885
and for the Sienese too

894
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,392
to see a young man pursue glory
rather than money.

895
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:22,005
The young must go forward.

896
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:25,192
They can't be satisfied with
a few crumbs from the oldies.

897
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:30,525
A new King of the Square
is born.

898
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,871
Giovanni Atzeni is the heir
to Gigi Bruschelli.

899
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,245
Let's hope for the districts

900
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,637
it won't be a dictatorship
but a revolution.

901
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,165
Now starts my real job.

902
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,045
Were you known
as The Farmer?

903
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:10,759
I still am.
It's my job.. I'm a farmer.

904
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,320
They are true
professional jockeys.

905
01:24:16,355 --> 01:24:18,676
Unlike me.. I worked the land.

906
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,511
It's what I did
and still love doing.

907
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:35,320
Few jockeys have ever won
two Palios in one year.

908
01:24:35,355 --> 01:24:38,836
I'm the youngest
to achieve that.

909
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:45,840
Many more victories
lie ahead of me.
