SIS returns as sponsor of oldest race in Argentina calendar

SIS (Sports Information Services) is once again sponsoring the Gran Premio Nacional at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo racecourse in Buenos Aires.

The historic Argentine Derby, taking place on 11 November, serves as one of the oldest and most prestigious on the race calendar in Argentina.

The deal sees the supplier further build on its long-standing partnership at the Palermo course, where it is the exclusive global distributor of pictures and data. 

Michele Fischer, Vice President SIS Content Services, commented: “The Gran Premio Nacional is one of the highlights of the year in the racing calendar in Argentina, and we once again look forward to sponsoring the race.

“The agreement further strengthens our relationship with the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo racecourse, in a region that is of great importance for both SIS and the racing industry as a whole.”

The course hosts a plethora of Group 1 races throughout the year, including other significant events such as the Gran Premio República, Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos y Potrancas and Gran Premio Selección.

The sponsorship also serves to underline the firm commitment SIS has to support racing within the Latin America region.

 All those races are available via SIS 24/7 Live Betting services, an end-to-end solution that offers round-the-clock betting events, including live streamed pictures, data, on-screen graphics with betting triggers, and an extensive range of markets and prices.

“We’re delighted to build on the success of last year’s Nacional and continue to enhance our partnership with SIS,” added Hernan Fucile, Director of Simulcasting Operations at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo.

 “The race is always an entertaining prospect and promises to attract viewers not just to Buenos Aires but across the globe when the action commences.”
