There is one drawback to the all stakes card that you might want to consider. The difference in time zones makes getting scratches before posting final picks difficult.
Post time for the Saranac is 1:43 Eastern. I presume that would be our deadline for entries. However, post time for the first Del Mar race isn't until 4:00 PM Eastern (1:00 Pacific). I don't play Del Mar often enough to know whether they will have their scratches posted by 10:43 AM Pacific, or whether our players would have enough time to change their points and especially ROI picks once Del Mar picks are posted if any key horses are scratched.
The good news is that while three of the Del Mar stakes are turf races, the likelihood of stakes races coming off of the turf in the usually sunny Del Mar weather are pretty remote.
Not trying to throw cold water on your all stakes contest, but wanted to point out a practical consideration.
