History
The Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff was added to the Carreras de las Estrellas in its third year, 1993. It was inaugurated as a Group One race.[ 1] It was inspired by the Breeders' Cup Distaff .[ 2]
In 2010, Ollagua became the first, and as of 2024, only, horse to win the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff twice.[ 3]
In 2024, the distance of the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff was reduced from 2000 meters to 1800 meters, more in line with its North American inspiration.[ 4]
As of 2024, the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff has the largest purse of the Carreras de las Estrellas races.[ 5]
