The company will once again support one of Argentina’s most iconic horse racing events, taking place on November 14 in Buenos Aires as part of the historic racecourse’s anniversary celebrations.
SIS (Sports Information Services), a leading provider of multi-content and 24/7 betting services, will once again sponsor the Gran Premio Nacional at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo in Buenos Aires. The race will take place on Saturday, November 14, during a particularly significant year for the venue as it celebrates its 150th anniversary.
Known as the Argentine Derby, the Gran Premio Nacional is one of the most prestigious events on the country’s horse racing calendar and an important part of Argentina’s racing heritage. The Group 1 race is a major test for three-year-old colts and represents the final leg of the Argentine Triple Crown.
Contested over 2,500 meters on dirt, the race will determine the leading colt of its generation.
The November 14 racing card will also feature two other major Group 1 competitions: the Gran Premio Palermo, over 1,600 meters, and the Gran Premio Maipú, over 1,000 meters. Together, these three races will form the centerpiece of the 150th anniversary celebrations at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo, one of South America’s most renowned racing venues.
Opened in 1876, Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo hosts approximately 120 race meetings each year and stages several of Argentina’s most important racing events.
The partnership between SIS and Palermo also has an international dimension. SIS serves as the racecourse’s global fixed-odds distribution partner, with races distributed through its international betting network to licensed operators around the world. This provides greater international exposure for Argentina’s leading horse racing events.
Michele Fischer, Vice President of SIS Content Services, highlighted the significance of supporting this historic milestone for Argentine racing.
“Palermo’s 150th anniversary is a historic celebration for Argentine racing, and we are proud to continue our support of one of the sport’s most prestigious events,” she said.
Meanwhile, Hernán Fucile, Commercial Manager at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo, emphasized the importance of the race within the anniversary celebrations.
“The Gran Premio Nacional is one of the defining events in Argentine racing, and staging it during Palermo’s 150th anniversary celebrations makes it an exceptional showcase for our industry,” he commented.
