The Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf is a Weight for Age Thoroughbred horse race on turf for fillies and mares, three years old and up. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States as part of the Breeders' Cup World Championships.
The race is run at either 1 1⁄4 miles (2,000 m) or 1 3⁄8 miles (2,200 m), depending on the turf course configuration at the Breeders' Cup host track. For tracks which can accommodate either distance (Belmont, Woodbine, and Santa Anita [1]), it is run at 1 1⁄4 miles. The 2015 edition at Keeneland was conducted at 1 3⁄16 miles because that track's turf course configuration does not allow for the two regular distances to be conducted on it.[2] For the same reason, the 2017 edition at Del Mar will be held at a distance of 1 1⁄8 miles.[3]

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 thirteen divisions has between two and twelve of these "Win and You're In" qualifying races.
In the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf division, runners are limited to 14 with up to eleven automatic berths. Note though that one horse may win multiple challenge races, while other challenge winners will not be entered in the Breeders' Cup for a variety of reasons such as injury or travel considerations.
The 2018 "Win and You're In" races are:[4]
- the Paddock Stakes, a Group 1 race run in January at Kenilworth race course in South Africa
- the Queen of the Turf Stakes, a Group 1 race run in April at Randwick Racecourse in Australia
