Palio di Siena

Recently just saw a clip about the infamous, "Palio di Siena", that's held in Siena, Italy twice each year.

Interestingly enough, this particular race has no rules and unlike any other horse race it is the horse to make it past the finish line that wins (as few jockeys manage to hold on during the brutality).

Google it:)
