The Palio!

We recreate the famous Palio di Siena with a little Three Fox twist! The Palio is a bareback horse race that is run in the Piazza del Campo in Siena. It has all the thrills and spills you would expect from an extremely fast race, run on an extremely narrow and treacherous course! And the Three Fox Palio offers all the same excitement! 

Here’s how it works:

We’ll run three races, with four horses and their jockeys (horses are of the ‘hobby horse’ breed, not real horses!) The winner of each race wins a $50 cash prize! 

But the Palio is not just about the horses and jockeys - it’s also about the fans! Fans will pick their winning horse/jockey before the race. If the fan’s jockey wins, they get a 10% discount on wine!

Races Begin at 2pm. Horses are assigned on a first come, first serve basis, so get here early to sign up to race in the Palio!!
