i mean, that is one hell of a supplemental fee. even the kentucky derby has late nominations before the big supplement kicks in. .is that available with the bc races?

Win and you're guaranteed a spot in the field. If you didn't nominate in the first place when your horse was a foal (which is what pays for the program) then you still have to supplement. If you didn't require that then no one would ever waste the money on nominating when they could just go by the philosophy that if their horse was good enough to be in the BC then he could win a Win and You're In race. It is silly though that they won't waive the entry and starting fees though if you win a Win and You're In race.
BTW, it would only cost Evening Attire $12,500 to run plus shipping costs so it isn't like that should really be a big deterrent from running for $500,000.
