Not if you're familiar with the history of horseracing, as I am. My dad owned and trained horses when I was a kid; my sister's first husband was a jockey, and her second husband a trainer; and I spent most of the 90's booking horse races at a Las Vegas casino.

Me missing a question about the oldest racetrack on the New York circuit would be like a baseball card collector missing question about an old Topps card.

One last insult in injury: my wife got the Saratoga question right when I told her about it, and she never gets a sports question right. Now do you believe me when I say I should have gotten that one?
