Spanish term or phrase: Torino caballo
This is from a treatment by an Argentine filmmake. A certain horse is being prepared for a race.

Debajo de una carpa improvisada, lavan un Torino rojo, todo tuneado.


I could not find any relevant hits on the internet for the literal "Turin horse"
Thanks!

a torino horse


Explanation:
The words in the source text suggest
"Beneath an improvised tent, they wash a red horse, or a red pony, all refined."

On line internet searched may show 'torino' as the name of a vehicle carrier, passenger liner; the name of a football team; a place in Italy called 'Turin', or a type of car, made in Argentina.

Búsquedas en el internet han mostrado 'torino' como el nombre de un gran barco, ferry, o crúcero que lleva vehículos, el nombre de un equipo de fútbol, un lugar italiano que se llama Turín, y un tipo de coche fabricado en Argentina.
