The weather wouldn't be a problem. Late fall is beautiful up there. It was 70 the day I closed on my condo-and that was November 30th.
The logistics would be a problem as Sniper pointed out that NYRA would have to move all the equipment up to Saratoga for a 2-4 day meet, there would be a shortage of local accomodation as none of the rentals available for the meet would be available and I wonder if Albany Airport could cope with the influx of visitors for the event. It's a completely different scenario to the meet. Then the bulk of the racefans are local and a minority fly in. At Breeders' Cup expect about 8,000 British and Irish fans (compared to just me and Kev) who will either have to change planes to get to Albany or take one of the 2 trains a day from New York that arrive in Saratoga-with not much prospect for increasing that as the line is single track.
