# Gran Premio Jorge de Atucha

The Gran Premio Jorge de Atucha (previously known as the Clásico Jorge Atucha, Premio Jorge Atucha, Premio General Las Heras) is a Group 1 thoroughbred horse race run at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina, open to two-year-old fillies. It is run over a distance of 1500 metres (0.93 mi) on the dirt.

## History

The Gran Premio Jorge de Atucha was first run in 1935.
The race was run as the Premio General Las Heras in 1954 and 1955.
The Gran Premio Jorge de Atucha is considered to be an important race leading up to the three-year-old year for fillies as its 1500-meter distance is close to the classic distance of 1600 meters, at which races like the Group 1 Gran Premio Polla de Potrancas and Group 1 Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile Fillies are run. Nineteen winners of the Gran Premio Jorge de Atucha have gone on to win the Polla de Potrancas, including Miss Nymph, Southern Spring, and Miss Terrible.
