Just the reverse, will we see Toga lose some BC"dirt" horses to DelMar prepung for the BC?

I doubt it. I think more horsemen will be inclined to run at Saratoga then take a look at Oak Tree preps for the final run before the BC. I think races like the Jockey Club Gold Cup and Beldame are in danger of being run with even smaller fields (if that's possible) than races like the Woodward and Personal Ensign.

There's also the dissatisfaction with the Del Mar poly factor to take into consideration. Saratoga is all about prestige, that'll never change.
