The BC Filly & Mare Turf Winner History
The Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf showcases the world’s best female grass horses aged three years old and up. The race is an international attraction drawing strong fields annually to the U.S. for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The BC Filly & Mare Turf has been run at various distances and for the first time in 2017 it was contested at 1 1/8 miles on the turf course for a purse of $2 million.
Unlike other races at the Breeders’ Cup, what makes the Filly & Mare Turf unique is that it is run at varying distances, dependent on the shape of the hosting track. The race can be held on a turf track covering either 1 ¼ miles or 1 3/8 miles. In 2015, the distance was adjusted to 1 3/16th miles at Keeneland and was again adjusted to 1 1/8th miles for the 2017 renewal at Del Mar. Most of this simply depends on the venue.
The Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf was inaugurated in 1999, fifteen years following the first running of the World Championships.
Since 2000, the Filly & Mare Turf winner has been named Champion Female Turf Horse at the Eclipse Awards 12 times.
The 2016 edition was one to remember, as race favorite Lady Eli (Chad Brown) and winner Queen’s Trust came flying down the middle of the stretch to pass pace setter Avenge and cross the line in a photo finish. Five post-time favorites have won the BC Filly & Mare Turf with Dank the most recent in 2013.
Seven horses won the Filly & Mare Turf after failing to win any of their three starts prior to the Breeders’ Cup race. Those three were Starine (2002), Perfect Shirl (2011) Queen’s Trust (2016), Wuheida (2017), Sistercharlie (2018) Iridessa (2019), and Audarya (2020). Queen’s Trust is notable as she had not won in six straight starts until beating the favorite Lady Eli.
Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf Historical Records:
As noted, with the race being run at multiple lengths, four different horses hold speed records for the Filly & Mare Turf. In 2016, Queen’s Trust set the 1 1/4 mile speed record in a final time of 1:57.75 at Santa Anita. At 1 1/8th miles, Wuheida holds the record with a final time of 1:47.91. In 2020, Audarya captured the top time at 1 3/16th miles with a 1:52.72 final title. Finally, 2000’s winner Perfect Sting still regains supreme at 1 1/3/8th miles with a time of 2:13.07.
The only multiple winner is Ouija Board (2004, 2006) who won each at 1 3/8 miles.
John R. Velazquez has captured a record three wins at the Filly & Mare Turf, while renowned Filly & Mare trainer Chad Brown has a record four wins.

2016 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf Results
The $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf was expected to go to the favorite, Lady Eli (8-5). And when the Chad Brown-trained champion split rivals on the second turn and made her move four wide at the top of the lane, it looked like her strong burst in the stretch would get her home in front.
Jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. rallied Lady Eli past the pace setter Avenge in the deep stretch, but European Invader Queen’s Trust rallied even stronger down the middle of the track. In a thrilling finish, Queen’s Trust nipped Lady Eli in the final strides to win the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita.
Queen’s Trust came to Santa Anita with just one maiden win in seven starts. But she was well-regarded having finished in the money in three-straight Group 1 races entering the Breeders’ Cup.
A 3-year-old daughter of Dansili, Queen’s Trust completed the 1 ¼ miles on firm turf in 1:57.75, breaking the Breeders’ Cup record of 1:58.73 established by Dank in 2013 at Santa Anita.
Queen’s Trust went off at 8-1 and returned $18.00 to win, $8.40 to place and $5.80 to show. Lady Eli, last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Champion, ran very well for 2nd and paid $3.20 and $2.80. Avenge finished a length back in third for $7.40. Seventh Heaven, the second wagering choice, rallied for fourth. A $1 exacta paid $32.90 and the $1 trifecta returned $418.80.
Queen’s Trust is trained by Sir Michael Stoute and was ridden by Frankie Dettori. The victory was the seventh for Stoute in the World Championships and third in the Filly & Mare Turf.
