Diversification

GENETIC

GEOGRAPHIC

Unlike what happens in other latitudes, the fruitfulness of the meadowlands and the wealth of the damp “Pampa” climate, which is free from severe seasonal changes, contributed to breeders’ task.
Consequently, the specimen established in Argentina found a very propitious habitat to grow in a more natural way.

About 40,000 people are involved directly in this industry. Indirect jobs would include about 60,000; making total employment about 100,000.

 Breeding horses both in the northern and southern hemisphere will allow the diversification of some of the racing industry’s risks. The chance to use Argentine families (hybrid vigor).
 Reduced sanitary risks. Better adaptation to global market. Mitigated climatic changes.

More than 100 years in the purebred industry. In the middle of the 19th century there were some scattered beginnings and even some embryonic attempts at racing, but the concrete birth of horse racing activity, in accordance with established European models, would take place two decades later when Carlos Pellegrini, who was one of the notable politicians of the era and became President of the Republic in 1890, founded the Jockey Club of Buenos Aires.

The founding of the Jockey Club was a kind of incentive for important cattle ranch owners to dedicate part of their lands to thoroughbred breeding. The acquisition of first line horses in England, Ireland and France became a steady trend with the certainty of regular races and correct planning in the search for excellence and honest control.
