The Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos is a Group 1 flat horse race in Argentina open to three-year-old colts run over a distance of 1,600 metres (0.99 mi) at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo. It is the first race in the Argentinian Triple Crown, and equivalent to the English 2000 Guineas Stakes. It is considered one of the principle races in defining the champion three-year-old colt, and generally occurs in September, near the beginning of a horse's three-year-old season.
