Gran Premio Enrique Acebal

The Gran Premio Enrique Acebal was first run in 1900 under the name of Premio Etoile, a name it retained until 1923. It was run as the Premio Enrique Acebal from 1924–1952 and the Premio Islas Malvinas from 1953–1955. The race was open to fillies and mares three years old and older until the late 1980s, when it was restricted to three-year-old fillies only. The Gran Premio Enrique Acebal has been run at a variety of distances over the course of its history, including 1800 meters, 2400 meters, 2500 meters, and its current distance of 2000 meters. When the pattern race system was introduced to Argentina in 1973, the Premio Enrique Acebal was rated a Group 3 race. By 1979, it was rated a Group 1 race, a designation it has retained since. 4 horses won the race two times: Divinidad in 1917 and 1918, Taitú in 1938 and 1939, Platería in 1943 and 1945, and Lumeria in 1972 and 1973. In 1980, the Gran Premio Enrique Acebal returned to Hipódromo de San Isidro. == Records since 1988 ==
