Why does the Kentucky Oaks work on Friday but people think that the audience for the Friday BC races won't?

The Kentucky Oaks Day is basically a holiday in Louisville. Do you think Pasadena is planning a similar situation?

The Kentucky Oaks is big in Louisville, and it is part of the one race that captures the attention of non-racing fans, and yet it's supporting races are still probably missed by the vast majority of racing fans.

I use the term "fan" loosely...perhaps "wagering participant" is more appropo...
