The Kentucky Cup Juvenile Fillies Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky. A Listed race run near the end of September, it is open to two-year-old fillies and is contested on Polytrack synthetic dirt at a distance of one mile (eight furlongs).
The counterpart to the Kentucky Cup Juvenile Stakes, both races were discontinued in 2009 due to financial restraints. The event offered a purse of $100,000 in 2008.
With the support of WinStar Farm, this race which was suspended in 2009 and 2010 due to economic challenges, will return in 2011.
