The BC doesn't have the same concerns that tracks have. The individual races will all handle well, with or without a Pick-5. However, the Pick-5 works for racetracks in that it also draws more attention to the earlier races, which have the lowest handles. This is not a concern on BC days.

That being said, given the overall field sizes in this Pick-5, I would think the possibility of a free square will make an almost unplayable sequence, reasonably playable, which will help pool size.
