If you think the BC crowd is the same backyard picnic crowd that fills Saratoga in August then you are mistaken.

I see many casual fans out back but I see and know plenty of hard core handicappers/fans who are strictly "picnic area" denizens. These are folks that have travelled to BC's everywhere. They are not all just casual racegoers and/or semi-interested fans out there.

What percentage, outside of the obvious group you are referring to, of those hard core handicappers/fans who are " picnic area " denizens, make up the crowd?

Simply put, the BC crowd will not, for the most part, be happy being in the picnic area, especially in late October.
