bonuses = The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf is a one mile turf stakes race for thoroughbred fillies two years old. As its name implies, it will be a part of the Breeders' Cup, the "de facto" year-end championship for North American thoroughbred racing.

The race will be run for the first time in 2008 during the first day of Breeders' Cup racing at that year's host track, Santa Anita Park, and the race will be limited to 12 starters. [ [http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=42402 Monthly Index to Online Story's | Blood-Horse.com ] ]

Because of technical requirements, it is not eligible for classification as a graded stakes race in its first two runnings.
