History
The Gran Premio Enrique Acebal was first run in 1900 under the name of Premio Etoile, a name it retained until 1923. It was run as the Premio Enrique Acebal from 1924–1952 and the Premio Islas Malvinas from 1953–1955.{{Cite book |title=Calendario de las carreras efectuadas en Argentina 1977 |publisher=Jockey Club Argentino |year=1978 |location=Buenos Aires |pages= |language=es}} The race was open to fillies and mares three years old and older until the late 1980s, when it was restricted to three-year-old fillies only.
The Gran Premio Enrique Acebal has been run at a variety of distances over the course of its history, including 1800 meters, 2400 meters, 2500 meters, and its current distance of 2000 meters.{{Cite book |title=Horse Racing: The complete guide to the world of the Turf |publisher=William Collins Sons & Co Ltd, and QED Publishing Limited; St. Martin's Press |year=1981 |isbn=0-312-39190-0 |editor-last=Herbert |editor-first=Ivor |edition=American |location=New York, NY, USA |pages=245}}{{Cite web |title=1982 Results |url=https://www.studbook.org.ar/reuniones/carrera/17266/10-enrique-acebal-2400/58893 |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=www.studbook.org.ar}}
