Trade Storm outfinishes Kaigun in the Woodbine Mile at Woodbine on September 14, 2014. With the win, Trade Storm earns a guaranteed berth in the Breeders' Cup Mile.
The TV announcers were saying post-Woodbine Mile that since Trade Storm
wasn't Breeders Cup nominated that he would have to be supplement to run in
the race. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought if you
won one of these "win and your in" races that it didn't matter if you were
Breeders Cup nominated or not? Thought "win and your in" meant just that.
@GBeret - basically as on Jan 1 of every year an owner has to nominate
thier horse for the BC. The owner of Trade Storm did not so they would have
to pay the fee which is quite high for late nominations. I was thier
yesterday and pissed that thos horse knowing he wasnt nominated! Why ship
in from England and run in a BC win and your in if you dont plan on racing
Nov.1 !!?? Well besides the 600k ...
