The Exciting New Horse Racing Season at Capannelle

Everything is ready for the new horse racing season. At the Capannelle Racecourse, everything is set. In fact, March 3rd is the day of the first Sunday on the big grass track that officially opens the season. A moment almost longed for after the many problems experienced in recent weeks. Elio Pautasso, president of Federippodromi and CEO of Hippogroup Roma Capannelle, shares his feelings: "After the difficult period of uncertainty, we are finally ready to start this new horse racing season at Capannelle with enthusiasm. Our goal, of course, is to continue to guarantee the quality and excellence that have always distinguished our work to the many enthusiasts. For this reason, we are diligently committed to maintaining a competitive, technical, and spectacular level of races that meets our fans' expectations. Over the years, we have also paid close attention to families who have always seen the Capannelle Park as a reference point for pleasant afternoons outdoors. We therefore hope that the side events, the flagship of our activity and now under the responsibility of Rome Capital, can return to accompany the horse races, thus offering the public a complete show of sport and entertainment." Spring is not only the season of flowers, in Italian gallop it is also the splendid grand representation of the classics and selection races that have in Capannelle their natural stage, set in the wonderful natural backdrops of the Roman Castles. Not to forget that every Sunday will have more than one intriguing technical content, not to miss the one on March 17th with two listed, both for older horses: the Natale di Roma on the mile and the Circo Massimo on the 2000, first steps towards group goals.
