The directors then had discretionary options to invite a few and then make the field up from those that took part but did not win the qualifying races. Raglan came and conquered the mile at Newcastle, so in similar fashion, Terror To Love gets an opportunity to qualify, and perhaps gain a spot even if he doesn't win but Aquits himself well....the conditions were well known to all...
