YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG.
I spend a lot of time at Saratoga every year. I meet and talk to people from all over the place. From all of New England, from Western NY and beyond, Canada, etc.
College kids and families, retired folk like me.
Mostly average people. Not well-to-do elites as you seem to think.
