Unknown
Souvenir reflected the early days of Argentine racing, when many of the runners were sired by imported English or French Thoroughbred stallions on mares whose ancestry remains obscure. His name survives only as the winner of the first Gran Premio Nacional (Argentine Derby), as he made no mark at stud.
