It is part of the Uruguayan Triple Crown, specifically the first leg of the series for three-year-old colts. The race is typically held at Hipódromo de Maroñas in Montevideo. The distance of the race may vary slightly over time, but it is generally run over a distance of around 1600 meters (approximately one mile).
