Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies: By the Numbers

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) has been the highlight of the season for two-year-old females. Here is a look at the race by the numbers.

Meadow Star won her first six races, including three Grade 1 contests, before starting at odds of 1-5 in the 1990 Juvenile Fillies. She cruised up to the leaders on the turn and raced away for a five-length victory.

Storm Flag Flying won all three of her starts. She was by Storm Cat out of My Flag and by Easy Goer out from Personal Ensign. Bob Baffert’s filly Composure headed Storm Flag flying in the stretch, but the fillie fought back to win by a half-length.

Only four Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winners have not been crowned with the Eclipse Award for champion two-year-old filly. Family Style won the award in 1985, Twilight Ridge in 1995 and Chilukki in 1999. The most recent time was in 2013, when She’s a Tiger was disqualified and placed second in the Juveniles.

Wayne Lukas has won six Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Luka's wins came for five different owners. Eugene Klein won twice with Twilight Ridge and Open Mind.

The record winning margin in lengths in the Juvenile Fillies was set by Countess Diana in 1997. Countessa Diana started the race as a 2-1 favorite. Shane Sellers guided her to the lead coming into the final turn.

18 are the number of favorites to take Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in its 37-year history. Two of them were part of entries that started at odds of 3-5 for Lukas when she won in 1985. The only victorious favorite since 2011 was Songbird in 2015.

Fran's Valentine was the most expensive winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at 74.80-1 in 1984. Fran's Valentines Valentine won three Grade 1 races the following season.

The value of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies has doubled since 2005. It's the richest top-level juvenile race for fillies in the world.
