The Filly & Mare Turf,  is of enormous international significance because it gives some of the best route fillies on the grass the chance to excel at Grade 1 level, not just when trained in the US but also when trained in France, England, and Ireland.

The race’s length varies. For instance, it was over 1¼ miles at Keeneland in 2019, over 1 3/8 miles by Sistercharlie before that, and over 1 3/16 miles on swift grass at Santa Anita Park in 2019 (won by Iridessa). The fillies with stamina may have a chance to extend out to the finish line and win a significant title in the over 1 3/8-mile event in 2021.
