Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies

American Thoroughbred horse race

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.

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. In the Juvenile Fillies division, runners are limited to 14, with up to three automatic berths.

The 2022 "Win and You're In" races were:

the Chandelier Stakes, a Grade 2 race run in October at Santa Anita Park in California

the Alcibiades Stakes, a Grade 1 race run in October at Keeneland in Kentucky

the Frizette Stakes, a Grade 1 race run in October at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York
