The sponsorship of the Group 1 race builds SIS’ long-standing partnership at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo racecourse, here the betting services company is a global distributor of pictures and data.
Michele Fischer, vice president of SIS Content Services, said: “The Gran Premio Nacional is a major highlight of the racing calendar in Argentina, and we are delighted to sponsor this year’s race given our long-standing partnership with the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo racecourse. “Racing in Latin America has long been of great importance to SIS and we are keen to continue to expand on our existing commitments with our valued partners.
“We look forward to a highly competitive race which is sure to attract great interest worldwide.”
Hernan Fucile, director of simulcasting operations at the racecourse, added that “the Gran Premio Nacional is sure to entertain and thrill racing enthusiasts both here at the course and those following the action around the globe.”
