Jockey Club AC

The Jockey Club of Buenos Aires, founded on April 15, 1882, arose precisely in the context of creative euphoria. His driver more determined and first President was Dr. Carlos Pellegrini, assisted in the company by a joint representative of the political and economic activity of the country gentlemen enthusiast. The idea behind them was the give rise to our medium to an entity able to organize and govern the national race horse activity, until then result of dispersed and little profitable ventures, but at the same time was a social Center of the first order, similar to the best European clubs all of them had met during his travels through France and England. Both premises were clearly set out in article 1 of the Statute of the institution, expressing that the Jockey Club would be a social centre, but also an association which will impel the breeding of Bloodstock.
