Breeders Cup Juvenile

Sponsored by:

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile is a Thoroughbred horse race for 2-year-old colts and geldings raced on dirt. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup.

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile (Grade 1) is yet to produce a winner that would deliver a Kentucky Derby (G1) victory. Mainly for that reason, this $2 million race of the Breeders' Cup thoroughbred championship events is regarded today more as a measure of 2-year-old form, as it is basically intended to be among the Breeders' Cup races, and less as a reliable yardstick of classic potential.

Timber Country went on to become the first Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner to win a U.S. Triple Crown race for three-year-olds when he won the 1995 Preakness Stakes. The 2006 winner, Street Sense, became the first to capture the Kentucky Derby.
