Gran Premio Jockey Club (Argentina)

The Gran Premio Jockey Club is a Group 1 flat horse race in Argentina open to three-year-olds run over a distance of 2000 m at Hipódromo de San Isidro. It is the second race in the Argentinian Triple Crown and is the oldest stakes race on the Argentinian calendar.

History
The Gran Premio Jockey Club was first run in 1883 as the principal race organized by the Jockey Club de Buenos Aires. It was originally run at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo. The race was moved to Hipódromo de San Isidro in 1955.

In 1982, Fort de France set a world record for 2000 meters that lasted for over twenty years in winning the Gran Premio Jockey Club in a time of 1:57.1

The 2022 disqualification of El Musical for interference with Natán resulted in violence and vandalism from patrons displeased with the result. The connections of El Musical were suspended.
