I want to show all my support and give all my attention to the horseracing sector, taking part, even this year, to Fieracavalli, one of the main events of the sector where passion, tradition and entertainment find their perfect union.

A year has gone by since, at the opening of Fieracavalli 2008, I declared that horseracing will continue to live, and this is what happened. We have worked to heal a sector that is so important for our Country with more than 350.000 horses, 60.000 of which are registered in the genealogical trees.

After having heard the operators and following several discussion with the highest experts of the horseracing sector, we have given founds to relaunch the sector: recently I have signed a decree that grant to Unire 150 million euros to finance the race prizes and we have already given 75 millions.

The change has already started but to complete it there is the need of small sacrifices made by everybody to ensure that Italian horseracing can once again be one of the first in Europe.

Many have been the obstacles but a lot has been done and we will carry on with the same determination.
