You might want to see a doctor about a circulation problem.
Also a quick look at the past years weather in Saratoga in October and I think you would see that the weather isn't the problem for Saratoga holding a BC. I agree about other logistic problems, but the weather in October, even possibly the first weekend in November should be fine.

The weather could very well be almost fine, though I don't think you are taking into account the difference between being used to the crisp Fall weather in Saratoga and asking 50,000 people to brave a long day completely uncovered in it. I love Saratoga in the Fall, and have spent a reasonable part of my life enjoying it, but that doesn't necessarily translate into acceptable BC weather.
The other problem is the very real chance that the weather is far from fine. You know, to keep harping on what I said about last year's Labor Day weather is missing the point. Saratoga is a summer track, and when the weather gets into the mid 60s, as it did last year on Labor Day weekend, it is not as comfortable as most people like. Is it bad? Of course not.....but it's also not the weather one associates with Saratoga.
