The Gran Premio Jockey Club (previously Premio Jockey Club, Gran Premio Productos Argentinos) is a Group 1 flat horse race in Argentina open to three-year-olds run over a distance of at Hipódromo de San Isidro. It is the second race in the Argentinian Triple Crown and is the oldest stakes race on the Argentinian calendar.
History The Gran Premio Jockey Club was first run in 1883 as the principal race organized by the Jockey Club de Buenos Aires. That first year it was restricted to fillies only, being opened to all horses the following year. It was originally run at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo. The race was moved to Hipódromo de San Isidro in 1955.
From 1883 to 1921, the race was known as the Premio Jockey Club. It was first run as the Gran Premio Jockey Club in 1922, and has been run under that name since then, except for 1953–1955, when it was run as the Gran Premio Productos Argentinos.
The Gran Premio Jockey Club has been run over a variety of distances:
1750 meters: 1883–1895 1800 meters: 1896–1897 2000 meters: 1898–1906, 1908–1973, 1979– 2200 meters: 1907, 1974–1978
In 1982, Fort de France set a world record for 2000 meters that lasted for over twenty years in winning the Gran Premio Jockey Club in a time of 1:57.1.
The 2022 disqualification of El Musical for interference with Natán resulted in violence and vandalism from patrons displeased with the result. The connections of El Musical were suspended.
