2008 Breeders' Cup Races

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile

Distance: 1 1/16 Miles

Age: (G1) Colts & Geldings 2 Year Olds

Sex: Male

Purse: $2 Million

This $2 million race is regarded more as a measure of 2-year old-form, as it is basically intended to be among the Breeders' Cup races, and less as a reliable yardstick of classic potential.

For over 19 years now, the Juvenile has not been able to field a Kentucky Derby winner, and has only produced one classic winner - Preakness Stakes 1995 victor Timber Country. With regularity, however, the Derby winner and other classic winners have been in the beaten Juvenile field, suggesting that classic winners were either not sufficiently precocious to win the Juvenile or found its distance to be too short for their best efforts.

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile has been run at 1 1/16 miles since 2003. It was originally a 1-mile race in 1984, 1985, and 1987, and was run at 1 1/8 miles in 2002.
