Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf

breeders-cup

The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf is an American Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-old horses, run on a grass course at a distance of one mile. It is part of the Breeders’ Cup, the de facto year-end championship for North American thoroughbred racing. All Breeders’ Cups to date have been conducted in the United States, with the exception of the 1996 event in Canada.

The race was run for the first time in 2007 during the first day of the expanded Breeders’ Cup at host track, Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey. Because of technical requirements, it is not eligible for classification as a graded stakes race in its first two runnings.

The initial purse was US$1 million.
