History
The Clásico Estrellas Junior Sprint, along with the Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile Fillies and Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile , was one of the inaugural races of the Carreras de las Estrellas. It was originally run under the name of the Gran Premio Estrellas Produtos and was inaugurated as a Group 1 race.[ 1]
The Clásico Estrellas Junior Sprint was not run in 2009 or 2010, returning in 2011.[ 2] That first year back, it was run as an ungraded stakes race,[ 3] being upgraded to listed the following year.[ 4] The race was upgraded again to Group 3 in 2017.[ 5]
Four horses have gone to win the Gran Premio Estrellas Sprint after winning the Clásico Estrellas Junior Sprint: Gold Spring (1991 Junior Sprint, 1992 Sprint),[ 6] Mister Phone (2000 Junior Sprint, 2002 Sprint),[ 7] Feel the Race (2014 Junior Sprint, 2015 Sprint),[ 8] and Labrado (2022 Junior Sprint, 2023 and 2024 Sprint).[ 9]
