That day, all the country stopped, captivated by the big show held at the Hippodrome of Palermo. Until the fifties, Argentina was a real "burrera nation," which vibrated to the rhythm of the horse races. In the decades of height of turf, nobody know the name of the main horses and the best riders, or the result of the great equestrian events calendar. And the racecourse attracted tens of thousands of spectators and a huge volume of bets, far superior to that of France or England. Deep into a world little known today, Roy Hora draws a social history of Argentine turf since its inception in the nineteenth century to the present. Besides entertainment extraordinary echo in the popular sectors, the turf was a show in which the upper class played a key role, investing huge resources to place under his rule and patronage. The middle classes, meanwhile, went from excitement to moral criticism. With sustained narrative pulse, the author explores the origins of horse racing and equestrian related to the Creole culture that preceded it, the role of the Jockey Club and the social elite in shaping and transformation of the racecourse, and the establishment of jockeys in professional riders and sports stars. It also exposes the discussions that the turf raised, and the reasons for the rise and decline of interest Argentines racehorses. Scenario encounter between different social worlds, the history of turf offers a prism through which to analyze the relationship between the elite, the middle class and the popular sectors and the major processes of social change that Argentina went through between times Sarmiento and Peron."
