"7. A horse that has not been nominated to the Breeders’ Cup program will not be eligible to receive payment of starting fees (the total of pre-entry and entry fees) for the Championship race or the travel allowance to the Championships until nominated. The owner of a non-nominated horse may receive payment of starting fees (the total of pre-entry and entry fees) and travel allowance if the horse is nominated to the Breeders’ Cup program to the applicable Championship race prior to pre-entry for the Championship race."
I believe that LaPenta/Zito's un-nominated Coal Play won a "win in your in" to the Dirt Mile on the asphalt at Monmouth in the 'prestigous' Grade III Salvator Mile, but since the Dirt Mile was not run on dirt that year, they did not nominate. I don't know if it is more puzzling that the Salvator Mile was considered a "win and you're in race" or that the BC was conducting "win and you're in races" on surfaces that bore no resemblance to the surface where the corresponding Breeders Cup Race would be run, as every dirt miler was an automatic toss at Santa Anita.
