Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz
The Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz (previously Premio Capital, Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz, Premio Mejoramiento Equino) is a Group 1 horse race run at Hipódromo de San Isidro in Buenos Aires, Argentina, open to horses three years old or older. It is the first Group 1 race of the year in Argentina and is run over 2000 meters on the turf.[1] HistoryThe Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz was inaugurated in 1889 as the Premio Capital. It ran under that name until 1935, when it was renamed to the Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz. In 1953, the race was run under the name of the Premio Mejoramiento Equino.[2] In 1942, Tonico won the Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz in a walkover.[3] From 1969 to 1973, the Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz was run at a distance of 2400 meters.[4][5] In 1974, it was lengthened to 2500 meters,[6] a distance it maintained until at least 1975.[7] The Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz was run as a Group 2 race from 1973 to 2000 before being upgraded to Group 1 in 2001, a designation which it has maintained since.[8] In 2011, the Brazilian racehorse Send inthe Clowns became the first foreign horse to win the race.[9] Puerto Escondido became the first horse to win the Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martínez de Hoz twice since it became a Group 1 race in 2018. He remains the only horse to have done so, as of 2024.[9] Previously, the race had been won twice by Athos II, in 1890 and 1892, Cute Eyes, in 1933 and 1934,[2] Bon Vin, in 1939 and 1941,[10] and Romance Moro, in 1988 and 1990.[11] Records since 1989Speed record:
