SIS returns as a sponsor of Argentina’s Gran Premio Nacional

(PRESS RELEASE) -- SIS (Sports Information Services), a leading multi-content provider of 24/7 betting services, will once again sponsor the Gran Premio Nacional at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo in Buenos Aires on Saturday, 14 November, as the historic racecourse celebrates its 150th anniversary year. Known as the Argentine Derby, the Group 1 race is a cornerstone of the country's racing heritage.

Recognized as one of the most prestigious races on the Argentine racing calendar, the Gran Premio Nacional is the defining test for three-year-old colts and the final leg of the Argentine Triple Crown. Contested over 2,500 meters on dirt, it is the race that crowns the leading colt of its generation.

The 14 November card will feature three Group 1 races: the Gran Premio Nacional (2,500 meters), the Gran Premio Palermo (1,600 meters), and the Gran Premio Maipú (1,000 meters). Together, the trio will form the centerpiece of Palermo's anniversary celebrations at one of South America's most renowned racing venues.

Opened in 1876, Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo stages around 120 race meetings each year and hosts several of the country's most important races.

SIS is Palermo's global fixed-odds distribution partner. Through SIS' international betting network, races from Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo are distributed to licensed operators around the world, providing global exposure for Argentina's premier racing events.

Michele Fischer, Vice President SIS Content Services, said: “Palermo's 150th anniversary is a historic celebration for Argentine racing, and we are proud to continue our support of one of the sport's most prestigious events.”

Hernán Fucile, Commercial Manager at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo, said: “The Gran Premio Nacional is one of the defining events in Argentine racing, and staging it during Palermo's 150th anniversary celebrations make it an exceptional showcase for our industry.”
