The Premio Ribot is a Group 2 flat horse race in Italy open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Capannelle over a distance 1,600 metres (about 1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.

Contents

The event is named after Ribot, a successful Italian-trained racehorse in the mid-1950s. It was given Group 2 status in the 1970s.

The Premio Ribot was usually held on the first or second Sunday in November and staged on the same day as the Premio Roma. Since 2015 it has been held a week earlier than usual, at the same meeting as the Premio Lydia Tesio.
