SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading multi-content supplier of 24/7 live betting services, is to sponsor a handicap race on the El Derby Day meeting at Valparaíso Sporting Club in Viña del Mar, Chile, on February 5.

The undercard handicap race immediately before the Clásico El Derby will carry the SIS name, further bolstering a long-established partnership with historic Valparaisío Sporting Club, which is the oldest track in Latin America having been founded in 1882.

El Derby day is a true national festival with 30 races and attendance of over 150,000 people. Modelled after the English Derby, it’s the country’s main Group One classic race and is the third and final race of Chile’s National Triple Crown, taking place after the El Ensayo and St Leger Clásicos.

This latest agreement follows similar sponsorships with Hipódromo Maroñas in Uruguay and Hipódromo Palermo in Argentina. It serves to further underline the commitment of SIS to supporting the future success of racing across Latin America.
