Derby Italiano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Derby Italiano is a Group 1 flat horse race in Italy for three-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies. It is run over a distance of 2,200 metres (approximately 1 mile 3 furlongs) at Capannelle Racecourse, Rome in May.

It was first run in 1884 and is the Italian equivalent of the English Epsom Derby. Since 1981 the race has been open to horses born and bred outside Italy. Prior to 2008 the distance of the race was 2,400 metres.
