The Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos is a Group 1 flat horse race in Argentina open to three-year-old colts run over a distance of 1,600 metres (0.99 mi) at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo.[1] It is the first race in the Argentinian Triple Crown,[2] and equivalent to the English 2000 Guineas Stakes.[3] It is considered one of the principle races in defining the champion three-year-old colt,[4] and generally occurs in September, near the beginning of a horse's three-year-old season.[5][6]
