The Breeders Crown 3YO Filly Trot is a harness racing event for two-year-old Standardbred female trotters. It is one part of the Breeders Crown annual series of twelve races for both Standardbred trotters and pacers. First run in 1984, it is contested over a distance of one mile. Race organizers have awarded the event to various racetracks across North America. The 2017 race will be held at Hoosier Park in Anderson, Indiana, United States.
In 1989, Peace Corps won this race in her age group, having already won the 1988 Breeders Crown 2YO Filly Trot in World Record time. She would go on to set another World Record in winning the 1990 Breeders Crown Open Mare Trot and then win that race again in 1992, making her the only horse in history to win four Breeders Crown races.
In 2010, Pocono Downs became the first venue to host all 12 events on a single night.
