The Gran Premio Internacional Carlos Pellegrini is the fourth race in the Argentinian Quadruple Crown,[4] and is part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series, with the winner gaining an automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Turf.[5]
History
[edit]The Gran Premio Internacional Carlos Pellegrini was first run in 1887, under the name of the Gran Premio Internacional.[4] It was renamed the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini in 1941, with the name then changing between the two until 1979, when it was run as the Gran Premio República Argentina. Since 1980, the race has been run as the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini or Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini Internacional. The location has also varied over time, being first run at the Hipódromo Nacional from 1887 to 1895, and then the Hipódromo Argentino from 1896 to 1940 and 1971 to 1978, and the Hipódromo de San Isidro from 1941 to 1970 and from 1979 to today.[6]
The Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini has been run over a variety of distances:
- 3000 meters: 1887–1978
- 2500 meters: 1979
- 2400 meters: 1980–
In 1910, the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini had a notably large purse, being worth m$n10,000 to the, winner equivalent to US$50,000 at the time.[7] By 1920, the purse had increased to m$n50,000, attracting 134 entries.[8]
Former American president Theodore Roosevelt attended the 1913 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini, won by Enérgica.[9]
There has twice been a dead heat: in 1915 between Dijital and Ocurrencia and in 1923 between Don Padilla and Movedizo.[6]
In the 1952 edition, contested by Branding, Sideral, and Yatasto, was attended by 102,600 spectators, over the stated capacity of 100,000.[10][11]
The only year the race was not run was in 1976, although the 1985 edition was run in February 1986 due to an equine influenza epidemic.[6]
The 1999 edition of the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini was anticipated to be the race of the decade. The field included 11 Group 1 winners, including Litigado, Crystal House, Refinado Tom, Ixal, Coalsack, and eventual winner Asidero. The final time of 2:21.98 set an Argentine record for the distance.[12]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition was run without foreign horses and almost entirely without spectator attendance.[13]
