Gigi Bruschelli trains some of my horses and that's what

0:53:010:53:06

sort of happens in this area - trainers tend to be jockeys.

0:53:060:53:09

Despite the fact that I've had wonderful horses for 25 years,

0:53:210:53:25

I've never won.

0:53:250:53:26

The Palio is a game played by people where the horse

0:53:290:53:32

is the unknown element.

0:53:320:53:34

Everything else is something that humans can trade.

0:53:340:53:39

They can trade positions, they can trade favours,

0:53:390:53:41

but they can't get inside the horse's mind.

0:53:410:53:44

It's a desperate attempt to control fate. I've known Gigi forever.

0:53:440:53:49

He understands horses better than any jockey before,

0:53:490:53:53

let alone the strange game that the Palio is.

0:53:530:53:57

Gigi's very, very focused. He has won 13 titles in 16 years.

0:55:290:55:35

I hope that he wins again and matches Aceto, but it's not easy.

Gigi is obviously the favourite.

1:09:561:09:58

Nicchio are spending a lot of money and Gigi is very clever

1:09:581:10:02

and, I'm sure, organised himself very well.

1:10:021:10:04

So, on the face of it, that's who's going to win,

1:10:041:10:06

but, you know, it's all those attempts to control fate.

1:10:061:10:10

-But Gigi has not got the best horse.

-No, he's got to do everything else.

1:10:101:10:14

So, if he wins without the best horse from a bad position,

1:10:141:10:17

it's pretty suspect.

1:10:171:10:19

If he does all of that, it's not suspect - it's brilliant.

1:10:191:10:23

It's the opposite. It's exactly what they paid for.
