Sports Information Services (SIS) will renew its sponsorship of the Gran Premio Nacional at Buenos Aires' Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo on 14 November, reportedly. The race coincides with celebrations of the racecourse's 150th anniversary.
Known as the Argentine Derby, the Group 1 race is for three-year-old colts and takes place over 2,500 metres on a dirt track. It is the final leg of the Argentine Triple Crown. The 14 November programme includes two other Group 1 races, the 1,600-metre Gran Premio Palermo and the 1,000-metre Gran Premio Maipú.
SIS is Palermo's global fixed-odds betting distribution partner and transmits its races to authorised operators in other markets. The racecourse opened in 1876 and hosts about 120 race meetings a year.
Michele Fischer, vice-president of SIS Content Services, said the company would continue to support the event. Hernán Fucile, commercial manager at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo, said holding the race during the anniversary celebrations provided an opportunity to show the industry.
In February 2025, Dafabet added SIS-developed eSoccer and eBasketball products from the H2H Global Gaming League to its sports betting offering. The partnership brought the products to Dafabet's markets in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe. The offering comprises short events available 24 hours a day and about 200,000 matches a year, played by professionals and produced in studios.
