Why the race matters
The Juvenile Fillies Turf brings together leading young turf fillies from North America and Europe at the end of the season. Because many contenders are still developing through late summer and early fall, the qualifying races can change the championship picture quickly.
Woodbine’s Natalma Stakes on September 12 is an official Breeders’ Cup Challenge race for this division. The Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh follows on September 13.
Key 2026 qualifying races
The official Challenge Series includes the Natalma Stakes at Woodbine, Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, Jessamine Stakes at Keeneland and Miss Grillo Stakes at Belmont among the races that can award an automatic place in the Juvenile Fillies Turf.
Those races give the division a clear international path into the championships. They also give OTB Bet a useful framework for connecting September and October juvenile coverage to one permanent destination.
