The Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff is a Group 1 horse race that is part of the Carreras de las Estrellas and is open to fillies and mares three years old or older. It is run over a distance of 1800 metres (1.1 mi) either on the turf at Hipódromo de San Isidro or on the dirt at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo.

The Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff was added to the Carreras de las Estrellas in its third year, 1993. It was inaugurated as a Group One race.[1] It was inspired by the Breeders' Cup Distaff.[2]

In 2010, Ollagua became the first, and as of 2024, only, horse to win the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff twice.[3]

In 2023, the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff became the ninth race in Belleza de Arteaga's nine-race win streak, and her third consecutive Group 1 victory.[4]

In 2024, the distance of the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff was reduced from 2000 meters to 1800 meters, more in line with its North American inspiration.[5]

In 2024, the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff had the largest purse of the Carreras de las Estrellas races.[6]
