The Fast and the Spur-ious: Horse street race in Italy draws investigation

This horse race was a little too fast and a little too furious, not to mention illegal.

According to The Guardian, Italian police are investigating a race that featured two horses speeding through the roads of Sicily while attached to carts directed by two jockeys. Oh, and the spectators were allegedly holding rifles and shooting off pistols in the air.

“Following reports of an unauthorised horse race, accompanied by dozens of people filming the event and firing gunshots into the air, police carried out investigations in the San Cristoforo district of Catania, which led to two men aged 40 and 45 being reported to prosecutors,” police say. “Officers immediately began intensive inspections of several stables in the San Cristoforo district, together with veterinarians from the regional health department, in order to identify the horses used in the race and place them in safety.”
