Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint

The Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint is a 7-furlong Weight for Age stakes race for thoroughbred fillies and mares three years old and up. As its name implies, it is a part of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, the de facto year-end championship for North American thoroughbred racing, generally held in the United States. The race is run on a dirt course.

Automatic berths
Beginning in 2007, the Breeders' Cup developed the Breeders' Cup Challenge, a series of races in each division that allotted automatic qualifying bids to winners of defined races. Each of the fourteen divisions has multiple qualifying races. Note though that one horse may win multiple challenge races, while other challenge winners will not be entered in the Breeders' Cup for a variety of reasons such as injury or travel considerations. In the Filly & Mare Sprint division, runners are limited to 14 and there are up to three automatic berths. The 2022 "Win and You're In" races were: • the Princess Rooney Stakes, a Grade 2 race run in July at Gulfstream Park in Florida • the Ballerina Stakes, a Grade 1 race at Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York • the Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes, a Grade 2 race at Keeneland Race Course in Kentucky ==Records==
