A consistent colt whose wins included the second leg of the Argentine Triple Crown, Duero was ranked as Argentina’s best 3-year-old male in a rather weak year for the sophomore division. He was exported to Mexico as a stallion in what was apparently a short and disappointing stud career.

Pedigree notes
Sired by 1965 Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French Two Thousand Guineas) winner Cambremont, Duero is outcrossed through five generations. He is a full brother to Group 3-placed La Robla, dam of 1997 Premio Benito Villanueva (ARG-G2) winner El Taranto (by Big Play), and to Cistierna, dam of Mexican listed stakes winner Cremant d’Alsace (by Aspen Peak). He is also a full brother to Angeris, second dam of Chiquitin, a Group 3 winner in the United Arab Emirates. He is also a half brother to Asturias (by Unanime), dam of 1992 Mexican champion 3-year-old male Madrileño.
Duero was produced from Villalba, a winning half sister to Argentine stakes winner Valderrey (by Cambremont). Villalba, in turn, was produced from 1965 Premio Criadores winner Astorga (by Tatán out of the stakes-winning Parlanchin mare Cantabrica), whose full sister Torrelavega is the dam of American stakes winner Chieftains Miss (by Chieftain) and the second dam of Grade 3 winner Bold Circle. Astorga’s half brother Vizcaino (by Sideral) was the equivalent of a multiple Group stakes winner, and Astorga is also a half sister to Argentine stakes winner Aviles (by Sideral) and to Torrecilla (by Sideral), dam of the good American stakes mare Spire (by Carry Back; dam of multiple stakes winner Red Clay Country, by Master Derby). In addition, she is a half sister to Cantabra (by Sideral), second dam of 1988 Gran Premio Pedro Pineyrua (URU-G1) winner Pied de Port (by Good Manners) and Argentine Group 2 winner El Cantabro (by Good Manners).
