The possibility certainly exists. Maybe not this race or this year but just wait until a deserving horse is left out.
I hardly think there was a problem filling the entry box at the Breeders Cup.
The whole thing is a half hearted marketing ploy that diminishes the worth of many races that aren't designated "win and your in". The winner of the Phoenix for example has even less credentials than Purim but he is in (though I dont believe he is nominated). Why should the winner of a weak grade 3 be automatically in while the winners of higher graded, more contentious races are possibly left out?
