The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf is an American Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-old horses, run on a grass course at a distance of one mile. It is part of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, the de facto year-end championship for North American thoroughbred racing. All Breeders' Cups to date have been conducted in the United States, with the exception of the 1996 event in Canada.

The race was run for the first time in 2007 during the first day of the expanded Breeders' Cup at host track, Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey. The race received Grade II status in 2009. The American Graded Stakes Committee further upgraded the race to Grade I status for 2011.

Automatic berths

Beginning in 2007, the Breeders' Cup developed the Breeders' Cup Challenge, a series of "Win and You're In" races that allot automatic qualifying bids to winners of defined races. Each of the fourteen divisions has multiple qualifying races. Note 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 Juvenile Turf division, runners are limited to 14. The 2022 "Win and You're In" races were:

the Juvenile Stakes, a Group 2 race run in September at Leopardstown Racecourse in Dublin, Ireland
the Summer Stakes, a Grade 1 race run in September at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
the Royal Lodge Stakes, a Group 2 race run in September at Rowley Mile in Newmarket, England
the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère, a Group 1 race at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris, France
the Pilgrim Stakes, a Grade 2 race run in October at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York
the Bourbon Stakes, a Grade 2 race run in October at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky
