The Groundsmen are joined by Theo Westerman - owner of the winning horse at the 2022 Palio di Siena - one of the world's oldest sporting events.  This was a remarkable achievement on so many levels.  Theo is only 25.  There has only ever been one foreign owner of the race.  Most impressively, his horse, Violenta Da Clodia, recorded the fastest time in history.  Theo shares the history of this most special of sporting events and his own personal journey culminating in victory on 17th August.
