The Grande Prêmio Brasil is the main horse race held at Hipódromo da Gávea, at the city of Rio de Janeiro. It's a left-handed flat race, in the turf track, for thoroughbreds three years-old and up (3yo+). It's also the main race in the Brazilian racing calendar. ==History== The Grande Prêmio Brasil was first held in the first Sunday of August, 1933, and was the materialization of the then newly formed Jockey Club Brasileiro's president Linneo de Paula Machado, in organizating a race which reunites the best racing horses running then in Brazil. The first Grande Prêmio Brasil, in 1933, was won by the Brazilian-bred Mossoró, foal of the national sire Kitchner, foaled at the Pernambuco state, ridden by Justiniano Mesquita. Amongst the lure of this race, there are the five horses that the won the race twice: the Brazilian-bred Albatroz (1943, 1944), Helíaco (1947, 1948), zenabre (1965, 1966) and VIllach King (1991, 1993); and the Argentine-bred Gualicho (1952, 1953), and the win of Brazilian-bred Narvik in 1959, breaking the world track record for the 3,000 meters (approximately miles; 15 furlongs), on the turf surface, a record that is still current at the Gávea racetrack. Initially ran at the distance of 3,000 meters (approximately miles; 15 furlongs), it was shortened to 2,400 meters in 1972, following new internatonsl standards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grande Prêmio Brasil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
