Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf


Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf


The Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf is a Weight for Age Thoroughbred horse race on turf for fillies and mares, three years old and up. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States as part of the Breeders' Cup World Championships.

The race is run at either 1+1⁄4 miles (2,000 m) or 1+3⁄8 miles (2,200 m), depending on the turf course configuration at the Breeders' Cup host track. For tracks which can accommodate either distance (Belmont, Woodbine, and Santa Anita ), it is run at 1+1⁄4 miles. The 2015 edition at Keeneland was conducted at 1+3⁄16 miles because that track's turf course configuration does not allow for the two regular distances to be conducted on it. For the same reason, the 2017 edition at Del Mar was held at a distance of 1+1⁄8 miles.

Automatic berths

Beginning in 2007, the Breeders' Cup developed the Breeders' Cup Challenge, a series of races in each division that allotted automatic qualifying bids to winners of defined races. Each of the fourteen divisions has multiple qualifying races. Note though that one horse may win multiple challenge races, while other challenge winners will not be entered in the Breeders' Cup for a variety of reasons such as injury or travel considerations.

In the Filly & Mare Turf division, runners are limited to 14 and there are up to nine automatic berths. The 2022 "Win and You're In" races were:

  1. the Paddock Stakes, a Group 1 race run in January at Kenilworth race course in South Africa
  2. the Victoria Mile, a Grade 1 race run in May at Tokyo Racecourse in Japan
  3. the Gran Premio Pamplona, a Group 1 run in June at Hipódromo de Monterrico in Peru
  4. the Beverly D. Stakes, a Grade 1 race run in August at Churchill Downs in Kentucky
