The Argentinian racehorse story (originally called the Argentine racehorse story and then mysteriously changed) was first mentioned in the comments of a post on Chaz's livejournal on 11/6/07. . It appeared later, on 3/7/08, in a thread on Daphne's livejournal to which Sol replied (simultaneously denying there was any such story and confirming the story's existence).

Elizabeth Bear implied that there would have been a "bit about the Argentinian race horse" in episode 2x01, "Lucky Day", had they not taken it out (along with all the funny bits). 

The Argentinian racehorse story is an example of Todd's Tall Tales.

The first canonical reference to the Argentinian racehorse occurred in Act II of episode 3x07 "Ligature":
