It's really cool that a horse that wins the Washington Park Handicap gets a spot over a horse that wins the Big Cap, World Cup, Met Mile, Hollywood Gold Cup, Whitney, Woodward, and Jockey Club Gold Cup. Clearly the first horse would be the more deserving of a spot in the starting gate. The second horse would be a nothing in the eyes of the BC having never even run in a Win and You're In event.

You can have all the 3:1 you want on the winner of that race showing up at the BC. You know where to find me.

No Aussies will show up because of the additional fees involved after winning a "win and your in" event. Between nominations (which are due BEFORE the Manikato) and the costs of shipping and quarantine, it's a no go. It is too bad because after seeing Scenic Blast last week in England I was reminded of how good the Aussie sprinters are.
Honestly, the win and in concept is idiotic. It's not like the winner of any of those races, should they want to go, would be excluded. It's like calling the Wood Memorial a "win and in" for the Derby. Well, DUH!
