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.
The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (Grade 1) has produced the most champions in year-end Eclipse Award balloting among the Breeders' Cup championship races. Widely regarded as one of the most all-American of the Breeders' Cup races, this $1 million series produced 17 out of 20 winners that were subsequently voted year-end champions.
The first Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies was the second race on the Breeders' Cup championship inaugural card in 1984 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California. The series produced that afternoon's first bit of controversy, when Fran's Valentine, in the midst of making a winning move at the top of the stretch, knocked Pirate's Glow off stride and pushed her into Canadian star Bessarabian. Fran's Valentine held off Outstandingly to reach the finish line first but was disqualified down to tenth for causing interference.
