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.
[10] In 1966, champion racehorse Forli won the race by 17 lengths in record time of 1:33 2/5.
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.
