Pedigree notes
Buenos Aires is inbred 3x4 to 1851 St. Leger Stakes winner and two-time English champion sire Newminster. A full brother to 1895 Gran Premio Nacional (Argentine Derby) and 1896 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini winner Porteño, he is a son of Chivalrous (by 1863 City and Suburban Handicap winner and 1874 English champion sire Adventurer), who won the Great Ebor Handicap as a 4-year-old in 1874 but got little of note in England before being exported to Argentina in 1881.
Buenos Aires' dam Sarsaparilla, a daughter of 1873 Royal Hunt Cup winner Wiinslow (by 1863 St. Leger Stakes winner Lord Clifden), was also exported to Argentina in 1881. She was produced from The Plum (by Scandal), whose half sister England's Queen (by King of Trumps) is the second dam of German Two Thousand Guineas winner Konigswinter. The next dam in the tail-female lineage, Gibside Lady (by Rataplan), is out of Lady Hawthorn (by Windhound), a daughter of the excellent Cup racer and 19th-century foundation mare Alice Hawthorn.
