*1938: Dead-heat, win awarded to Grimsby

One of the oldest continuously run races in South America, and one of the oldest in the Americas (it pre-dates the Kentucky Derby in the USA). Since the institution of the Clásico St. Leger in 1886, it is the first of three races in the Chilean Triple Crown series. The second is the St. Leger, and the third El Derby.

Distances:
1873 -1880: 3/4 miles (1200 meters)
1881 - 1883: 15/16 miles (1500 meters)
1884 - 1892: 1 mile (1600 meters)
1893 - 1904: 1-1/8 miles (1800 meters)
1905 - 1907: 1-3/16 miles (1900 meters)
1908: 1-1/8 miles (1800 meters)
1909: 1-3/16 miles (1900 meters)
1910 - 1920: 1-7/16 miles (2300 meters)
1921 - 1925: 1-1/4 miles (2000 meters)
1926 - Present: 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters)

As with other early Chilean races, El Ensayo was initially also open to -- and often won by -- half-breds, or "mestizos," who were given a weight allowance. In some cases, the horse is noted as being "mestizo," "anglo-arab," or some (usually high) percentage of "sang" or "pur-sang" (full thoroughbred) blood. For reference, these horses are noted as "M" in the Family column, when the non-thoroughbred blood was on the tail-female line. The only half-bred South American families included in the Family Tables are two from Argentina, Ar-1, and Ar-2; daughters from both families were imported into Chile, and produced winners of El Derby and the St. Leger, among other races.
