0:53:01 > 0:53:06Gigi Bruschelli trains some of my horses and that's what
0:53:06 > 0:53:09sort of happens in this area - trainers tend to be jockeys.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25Despite the fact that I've had wonderful horses for 25 years,
0:53:25 > 0:53:26I've never won.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32The Palio is a game played by people where the horse
0:53:32 > 0:53:34is the unknown element.
0:53:34 > 0:53:39Everything else is something that humans can trade.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41They can trade positions, they can trade favours,
0:53:41 > 0:53:44but they can't get inside the horse's mind.
0:53:44 > 0:53:49It's a desperate attempt to control fate. I've known Gigi forever.
0:53:49 > 0:53:53He understands horses better than any jockey before,
0:53:53 > 0:53:57let alone the strange game that the Palio is.
0:55:29 > 0:55:35Gigi's very, very focused. He has won 13 titles in 16 years.
0:55:35 > 0:55:40I hope that he wins again and matches Aceto, but it's not easy.

1:09:56 > 1:09:58Gigi is obviously the favourite.
1:09:58 > 1:10:02Nicchio are spending a lot of money and Gigi is very clever
1:10:02 > 1:10:04and, I'm sure, organised himself very well.
1:10:04 > 1:10:06So, on the face of it, that's who's going to win,
1:10:06 > 1:10:10but, you know, it's all those attempts to control fate.
1:10:10 > 1:10:14- But Gigi has not got the best horse. - No, he's got to do everything else.
1:10:14 > 1:10:17So, if he wins without the best horse from a bad position,
1:10:17 > 1:10:19it's pretty suspect.
1:10:19 > 1:10:23If he does all of that, it's not suspect - it's brilliant.
1:10:23 > 1:10:26It's the opposite. It's exactly what they paid for.
