"This is the greatest day of our lives since the tragedy. My son died in Berkley. He was a great racing fan and we decided at a party to put a racing club together and there was no shortage of neighbours, friends and we had support from all over the world."Niccolai's mother Graziella also spoke of how much the festival meant to her son. Niccolai was an avid horse racing enthusiast who regularly attended the festival and she felt his presence as jockey Daniel Holden crossed the finish line atop Ellie Mac.
"Our beloved Niccolai went down on the balcony that day in Berkley – his favourite sport apart from football - which the red on the scarves is for Bayern Munich - was horseracing. He loved the Christmas festival here. He'd be here every day. What a way to start. Him, he was on Daniel’s shoulders."https://twitter.com/RTEsport/status/945660019386863616
