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!
Yep.

Typical American marketing hype Bullshat. Meaningless, uninteresting and a waste of breath.
