The Palio!

 

We successfully recreated Il Palio di Siena at Three Fox at Saturday, August 7th! 

We had jockeys, we had horses, we had enthusiastic fans and, most importantly, we had a great time! 

There were all the thrills of Siena with the horses racing around the narrow track,

right next to the cheering fans!

 

We thank all the jockeys who took on the challenge of racing on our

track and we appreciate all the fans who cheered them on to the finish. 

We ran three races throughout the afternoon, with four horses in each race. 

The jockeys had to stay mounted throughout the race and still have

water in their wine glass as they crossed the finish line. 

The winning jockey won the coveted $50 cash prize and

his or her fans got to enjoy a 10% discount on wine! 

 

It was a terrific day and we look forward to running the Palio again next summer. 

See some highlights from the exciting races below!
