The mare Schietta, who was to run for the contrada dell'Istrice, crippled a hind leg and was also excluded from the race. ournalist Guy Chiappaventi explains: 'The jockeys of the palio ride without a saddle, with an ox's backbone in their hands to whip their own horses but also those of others, and their adversaries, paid like rock stars: winning a palio can cost the contrada hundreds of thousands of euro'.
