Donkey Races
Forget Football. In the quiet Italian town of Querceta there's one sports event locals are really passionate about - the annual donkey race. Rivalry is intense and passions run high.
Eight teams compete for the donkey championships. There's no prize money and betting is banned. But locals take it all very seriously and even import donkeys from other regions. "Donkeys are more intelligent than horses", states trainer Andrea Pollaci. "With a horse, you can make it do whatever you want but not with donkeys." Competitors often resort to 'vitamin' injections to boost their donkey's performance.
