The Prize

Take home this horseshoe worn by champion racing trotter Varenne, complete with a splendid case with engraved plaque bearing the name and breeding of the horse.

The horseshoe comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jacopo Brischetto, director of the center where Varenne is stabled, which certifies that this shoe was worn by the champion horse.

Varenne is considered to be the best trotter of all time. No other trotter has won so many of the most important races in the world and set as many records as Varenne. He won 62 races (53 GPs-major races) at 11 distances (from 0,99 mile to 1,708 miles), while finishing second six times and third twice from 73 career starts. He earned $8,750,000, a harness-racing record. Varenne holds the record as the most widely traveled horse in the history of horse racing, winning in 7 countries and on two continents.

His list of victories:

Rome - Derby italiano di trotto (1998)
Milan - Gran Premio delle Nazioni (1999)
Milan - Premio ENCAT (2001 and 2002)
Paris - Prix d'Amerique (2001 and 2002)
Naples - Gran Premio Lotteria di Agnano (2000, 2001 and 2002)
Stockholm - Elitloppet (2001 and 2002)

The Cause

History Life Onlus was born out of a group of young volunteers’ passion for history and culture.

Our belief is that knowledge is the heritage of us all and that every one of us should know his/her own past in order to become a better version of himself/herself.

At the center of our activities are the protection, promotion and enhancement of culture and art in all of their forms and expressions. To this end, one of our main goals for 2017 is to create a fund for scholarships for deserving but economically disadvantaged students.

We believe that knowledge is a right of everyone: every citizen of the world should have the possibility to access it, independently from his/her economic situation, because only instruction makes men truly free.
