[edit] Automatic Berths
Beginning in 2007, the Breeders' Cup developed "The Breeders' Cup Challenge," a series of races in each division that alloted automatic qualifying bids to winners of defined races. Each of the fourteen divisions has between three and six of these, "Win and You're In," qualifiers. In the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Division there are three automatic berths. In 2009, the Win and You're In races are: the Oak Leaf Stakes, a grade one race at Santa Anita Park, the Darley Alcibiades Stakes, a grade one race at Keeneland and the Frizette Stakes, a grade one race at Belmont.
