The Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos is a Group 1 flat horse race in Argentina open to three-year-old colts run over a distance of 1,600 metres (0.99 mi) at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo.[1] It is the first race in the Argentinian Triple Crown,[2] and equivalent to the English 2000 Guineas Stakes.[3] It is considered one of the principle races in defining the champion three-year-old colt,[4] and generally occurs in September, near the beginning of a horse's three-year-old season.[5][6]
History
[edit]The Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos was first run in 1895,[7] and has been run every year since then.[8][9] Since its inauguration, its distance, surface, and location have not changed.[10] In 1966, champion racehorse Forli won the race by 17 lengths in record time of 1:33 2/5.[11] Due to the less accurate clocks of the time that only measured to a fifth of a second, this time may or may not be equivalent to the current speed record of 1:33.20.
Since 2016, the race has been run in conjunction with the Horse Parade art show,[12] to promote the arts and raise money for non-profit organizations.[13]
