       AUTHOR NOTE

      I hope you enjoy this second story in the Rakes on Tour mini-series. This is your chance to catch up with Archer Crawford in Siena as he embarks on his quest to ride in the famed Palio. I’ve tried to incorporate details about the race and to be as true to fact as possible. If you want to read more about the great race try La Terra In Piazza—the text I consulted.

      What is true about the race the way it is depicted in Archer’s tale:

      1. The Pantera neighbourhood did win the June Palio that year, with Jacopo’s Morello.

      2. The Torre neighbourhood did turn around and win the August Palio that same year with the same horse. (It is fairly remarkable to have the same horse win both races in the same year.)

      3. The neighbourhoods (contradas) did have rival neighbourhoods. Torre was despised by Oca and Onda. Pantera was a neutral neighbourhood with no set rivals. The neighbourhood rivalry was strong and intense and I’ve tried to be true to that intensity in the storyline.

      What is not true (obviously) is that Torre’s jockey is hurt before the race and Archer needs to ride in his place. You can look up lists of jockeys and see who really rode in the August race.

      I hope you have a good time with Archer, and learning a little bit about a beautiful Tuscan city.
