Overview
- The 143rd Derby Italiano will be held at Ippodromo Snai San Siro on Tuesday, June 2 after Rome’s Capannelle track was made temporarily unavailable.
- Organizers confirmed at a May 26 press conference that the Oaks d’Italia is scheduled at San Siro on June 21 and that race days will include the Derby and other top events.
- The presentation included MASAF’s Remo Chiodi, Flutter SEA chief Roberto Di Fonzo and Marco Chantre Bompiani of Snai, who framed the move as an opportunity for the national racing movement.
- Race-day programming will pair top-level sport with music, children’s activities and an open‑air museum to attract families, young people and wider public audiences.
- San Siro plans to become a year‑round destination for races and cultural events after early‑2026 initiatives such as Giornate FAI, MuseoCity and Piano City Milano drew thousands and showed local appetite for expanded use.
