Seductor
Argentine thoroughbred racehorse
Seductor (28 August 1943–1966?) was an Argentine thoroughbred racehorse and leading sire.
Background
Seductor was bred by Haras Argentino.
Seductor was a light bay stallion with a heavy build. His hind legs were strongly built, especially his gaskins and quarters, and he had excellent shoulders.
Racing career
Seductor was considered one of the leading racehorses of his generation in Argentina.
In the Gran Premio Jockey Club, Seductor was ridden by the famous jockey Irineo Leguisamo. In the stretch, he passed the front-running favorite and winner of the Polla de Potrillos, Remo, to win by three-quarters of a length in a final time of 2:034⁄5 for the 2000 meters. The win was the sixth Gran Premio Jockey Club win for Leguisamo and the second for Seductor's sire, Full Sail.
The Gran Premio Nacional attracted the largest crowd to Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo since the match race between Botafogo and Grey Fox in 1918. That day's card set a record for betting handle in South America of m$n7,603,876.

Why this record matters
The phrase “argentine thoroughbred racehorse” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 18, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q130442865. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1943, 1966, 2000 and 1918.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
