The 2018 Premio Sixties Song at San Isidro offers a little-known showcase of one of the most endearing races on the Argentine calendar.
The Premio Sixties Song is one of those races that, without enjoying the international fame of the Grand Prix de Buenos Aires or the Derby Latinoamericano, form the beating heart of Argentine horse racing. Held at San Isidro racecourse, this competition annually attracts a field of serious contenders, often coming from the best local training yards.
San Isidro, located in the province of Buenos Aires, remains one of the temples of Argentine racing. The racecourse, inaugurated in the last century, has seen the birth of the greatest legends of the South American school. The races held there benefit from a technical tradition and a level of competition that rivals the most prestigious European meetings.
For amateur turfites and professionals alike, the Premio Sixties Song represents an opportunity to discover up-and-coming horses. Performances in this event often serve as a springboard to more prestigious engagements in the national calendar. Trainers test their charges here before entering them in higher-class races.
The Quinté+ format, popularized in France, finds similar echoes in the Argentine betting system. Turf enthusiasts follow these meetings closely, analyzing past performances and race conditions in an attempt to uncover winning combinations. The Premio Sixties Song, while not the most publicized event, is part of this global horse-race betting economy.
The richness of Argentine horse racing is also measured by these races which, without making international headlines, fuel the passion of thousands of turfites every week.
