Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies is a 1+1⁄16-mile thoroughbred horse race on dirt (although the distance has varied, depending on the configuration of the host track) for two-year-old fillies run annually since 1984 at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup World Championships in early November.
