The Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile Fillies (also known as Gran Premio Estrellas Potrancas) is a Group 1 horse race in Argentina that is part of the Carreras de las Estrellas and is open to two-year-old fillies. It is run over a distance of 1600 metres (0.99 mi) either on the turf at Hipódromo de San Isidro or on the dirt at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo.
The Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile Fillies, along with the Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile and Gran Premio Estrellas Junior Sprint, was one of the inaugural races of the Carreras de las Estrellas. It was originally run under the name of the Gran Premio Estrellas Potrancas and over a distance of 1500 meters (lengthened to its current distance of 1600 meters the following year).[1] The Gran Premio Estrellas Juvenile Fillies was inspired by the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.[2]
In 2002, the Gran Premio Juvenile Fillies became the fourth race in Miss Terrible's streak of 7 consecutive Group 1 race wins.[3] The win helped secure her the Argentine championship for two-year-old fillies.[4]
