SIS Sponsors Argentina's Gran Premio Nacional at Palermo

SIS (Sports Information Services) has been named the sponsor of the SIS Gran Premio Nacional, which will take place at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo in Buenos Aires on 14 November as part of the racecourse’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

The Gran Premio Nacional, widely recognised as the Argentine Derby, is a Group 1 race with a central place in the country's horse racing tradition. It represents the ultimate challenge for three-year-old colts and concludes the Argentine Triple Crown.

Covering 2,500 metres on dirt, the race determines the leading colt of its generation and ranks among Argentina's most prestigious annual racing events.

The anniversary meeting on 14 November will also include two other Group 1 contests: the Gran Premio Palermo, held over 1,600 metres, and the Gran Premio Maipú, covering 1,000 metres. Together, the three races will headline the venue's anniversary celebrations.

Established in 1876, Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo organises approximately 120 racing meetings annually and hosts several of Argentina's most important competitions. The venue is also recognised as one of South America's longest-established racecourses.

SIS already serves as Palermo's international fixed-odds distribution partner, delivering the venue's racing content to licensed betting operators through its global network. This arrangement enables Argentine racing events to reach audiences across multiple international markets.

The partnership also reflects the iGaming industry's continued interest in international racing content, with operators seeking a wider selection of events to support betting offerings across different time zones.

Michele Fischer, Vice President SIS Content Services, said: “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.”

Hernán Fucile, Commercial Manager at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo, said: “The Gran Premio Nacional is one of the defining events in Argentine racing and staging it during Palermo’s 150th anniversary celebrations make it an exceptional showcase for our industry.”
