Automatic Berths
Beginning in 2007, the Breeders' Cup developed "The Breeders' Cup Challenge," a series of races in each division that alloted automatic qualifying bids to winners of defined races. Each of the fourteen divisions has between three and six of these, "Win and You're In," qualifiers. In the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic Division there are four automatic births. In 2009 the Win and You're In races are: the Delaware Handicap, a grade one race at Delaware Park Racetrack, the Ruffian Handicap a grade one race at Saratoga Race Course, the Lady's Secret Stakes a grade one race at Santa Anita and the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes a grade one race at Keeneland Race Course.

Famous quotes containing the word automatic:
“Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
