The Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf

Distance: 1 3/8 Miles

Age: (G1) Fillies & Mares 3 Year Olds & Up

Sex: Female

Purse: $3 Million

The Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf was not a part of the original seven Breeders' Cup races group that was begun in 1984. It was in 1998 that the Breeders' Cup board of directors voted on the decision to fill an obvious gap in the lineup by creating a $3 million race for fillies and mares. The first Filly & Mare Turf was held in 1999 at Gulfstream Park.

Until that time, the female turf division had no definitive championship race, and distaffers were forced to race in open company. The audacious misses had to settle for competing against their male counterparts in the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) and the Breeders' Cup Turf (G1).
