Premio Parioli

The Premio Parioli is a Group 3 flat horse race in Italy open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts.

It is run over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile) at Capannelle in April.

It is Italy's equivalent of the 2000 Guineas, a famous race in England.

The event is named after Parioli, an area of Rome to the north of the racecourse.

For a period the Premio Parioli held Group 1 status.
