As for the Palio in July, a postponement due to rain . A month ago it was even run two days later, on the 4th. This time for the Palio in honor of the Madonna dell'Assunta it is hoped that the race will be held tomorrow , given the terrible weather forecast for Sunday.

The downpour that hit Piazza del Campo surprised everyone, making the tuff of the track slippery and therefore dangerous for horses and jockeys . So at 5:50 pm the Deputies of the festival, having also heard the captains of the Contrade, decided to postpone the event. The green flag was displayed in the Palazzo Pubblico.

We'll try again tomorrow . All ten Anglo-Arabs in the race were bred on the island , while six out of ten are Sardinian jockeys .

These are the districts with the horses and jockeys:

Porcupine : Angel face mounted by Giovanni Atzeni called Tittia, from Nurri.

Goose : Ares Elce ridden by Carlo Sanna known as Brigante, from Sindia.

Selva : Tabacco (winner in July) ridden by Andrea Sanna known as Virgola, from Oliena.

Lupa : Benitos ridden by Dino Pes called Velluto, by Silanus.

Wave : Canarinu ridden by Sebastiano Murtas known as Grandine, from Ghilarza.

Snail : Comancio ridden by Giuseppe Zedde known as Gingillo, Sardinian by origin on his father's side.

Leocorno : Zentiles mounted by Elias Mannucci "Turbine".

Nicchio : Sardinian Thrill edited by Federico Guglielmi "Tamurè.

Valdimontone : Veranu ridden by Jonatan Bartoletti "Scompiglio".
