Macón was an undefeated Argentinian Thoroughbred racehorse.

Background

Macón was bred by Haras Ojo de Agua and foaled in 1922.[1] He was sold as a two-year-old in 1924 and was purchased at a high price by Jorge Mitre for his Stud Don Alfonso.[2]

Racing career

Macón was undefeated in 15 starts.

Macón debuted in February 1925, winning a 900-meter race.[2]

In the 1925 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini, Macón set a record for the race of 3:06,[3] which lasted for many years.[2]

Macón winning the Gran Premio de Honor

He won the 1926 Gran Premio de Honor by multiple lengths in a time of 3:42.[4]

Macón broke the earnings record in Argentina by winning the 1926 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini with earnings of 404,623 pesos.[5]

Stud record

Macón was acquired by Haras Argentino to stand at stud.[6] He continued to stand at stud there for the rest of his stud career, and died there in 1945.[1]

Macón peaked on the Argentine sire list in 1933 at fifth. In 1946, he was the leading broodmare sire in Argentina and ranked second in 1944.[1] Macón was the damsire of Filon and Seductor.[2]
