SIS (Sports Information Services) has confirmed it will sponsor the Gran Premio Nacional at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo in Buenos Aires on Saturday 14 November, as the venue marks 150 years since it opened in 1876.
The Gran Premio Nacional, often referred to as the Argentine Derby, is a Group 1 race run over 2,500 metres on dirt and serves as the final leg of the Argentine Triple Crown, determining the leading three-year-old colt of the season.
The anniversary race card will also include two further Group 1 contests, the Gran Premio Palermo over 1,600 metres and the Gran Premio Maipú over 1,000 metres, forming the centrepiece of the racecourse’s 150th anniversary programme.
Global distribution role
SIS acts as Palermo’s global fixed-odds distribution partner, with races from the venue carried through its international betting network to licensed operators worldwide. The racecourse stages around 120 meetings a year and is home to several of Argentina’s leading races.
Michele Fischer, Vice President of SIS Content Services, described the anniversary as a historic moment for Argentine racing and said the company was proud to continue supporting the event. Hernán Fucile, Commercial Manager at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo, said the Gran Premio Nacional’s staging during the anniversary celebrations made it a strong showcase for the industry.
