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 Turf Division there are five automatic births. In 2009, the Win and You're In races are: the United Nations Stakes, a grade one race at Monmouth Park Racetrack, the Arlington Million, a grade one race at Arlington Park, the Irish Champion Stakes, a group one race at Leopardstown Racecourse, the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes, a group one race at Newmarket Racecourse and the Canadian International a grade one race at Woodbine Racetrack.

Famous quotes containing the word automatic:
“The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self- service populace, and all our specious comforts—the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria—are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
