The '''Breeders' Cup Distaff''' is a [[Weight for Age]] [[Thoroughbred horse race]] for [[Filly|fillies]] and [[mare]]s, three years old and up. Known as the '''Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic''' between 2008 and 2012, it is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the [[Breeders' Cup World Championships]]. It is the top ranked race for fillies and mares in North America,<ref>{{cite web|title=Top 100 G1 races of the World|url=http://www.ifhaonline.org/resources/Top_100_Races_2012_2013_2014.pdf|website=ifhaonline.org|access-date=3 November 2017}}</ref> and often decides the title for champion three-year-old and / or champion older filly or mare.

Starting with the 2008 Breeders' Cup, the Distaff was the final race on the first day (Friday) of the two-day event. In 2018, it was returned to the Saturday card.<ref>{{cite web |title=Breeders' Cup Friday to Spotlight Juvenile Races |url=https://bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/227465/breeders-cup-friday-to-spotlight-juvenile-races |website=BloodHorse.com |access-date=4 July 2018 |language=en}}</ref>

Distance : 1{{fraction|1|4}} miles (1984–1987); 1{{fraction|1|8}} miles (1988 to present).

== Automatic berths ==
In 2007, the Breeders' Cup developed the [[Breeders' Cup Challenge]], a series of races in each division that allots 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 Distaff division, runners are limited to 14 and there are up to four automatic berths. The 2022 "Win and You're In" races were:<ref>{{cite web |title=BC announces 2022 "Win and You're In' schedule |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/259047/bc-announces-2022-win-and-youre-in-schedule |website=BloodHorse.com |access-date=7 October 2022}}</ref>
