Savio Hippodrome hosts major harness racing events in Cesena

The Savio Hippodrome in Cesena recently hosted a series of harness racing events celebrating the long-standing connection between the cities of Cesena and Città di Castello. The program featured eight races, highlighted by the 76th edition of the Gran Premio Città di Cesena, a Group II race for four-year-old horses with a prize pool of 55,000 euros.

During the themed evening, which also commemorated the legendary horse Varenne and the Risorgimento festival, Evita Nobel, driven by Daniele Cuglini, secured a victory in the Giuseppe Garibaldi Prize. The win resulted in significant betting payouts, with the Tris exceeding 1,176 euros and the Quarté surpassing 4,100 euros.

The racing events are closely linked to the upcoming Mostra Nazionale del Cavallo, scheduled for August 29 and 30 in Città di Castello. The racing season at Savio continues to serve as a cultural and sporting bridge between the Emilia-Romagna and Umbria regions.
