History

In 1940, the race previously known as the Premio Otoño was renamed as the Premio General San Martín.^[1]

In the 1970s, the Gran Premio General San Martín was run over a distance of 3000 meters, or about 15 furlongs. When the graded stakes system was introduced in Argentina in 1972, the Gran Premio San Martín was a Group 3 race.^[2] By 1978, it was a Group 2 race,^[3] and it was upgraded to Group 1 status in 1979.^[4]

By 1988, the race had been shortened to a distance of 1800 meters and was run on the dirt.^[5] In 2013, the race was changed to be run over 2400 meters on the turf.^[6]
