"This New York horse racetrack is the oldest operating track in the country."...As well as I know my own name, I know that the three NY tracks are Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga. Aqueduct is not nearly the oldest. It's Belmont or Saratoga. In my haste, I let "New York based" point me towards New York CITY, and since they've run the Belmont Stakes (part of the Triple Crown) for at least 125 years (actually 140), I blurted, "Belmont!"

I blurted out Belmont too forgetting that Saratoga was in NY. If the question was asked in a less time-sensitive environment, I definitely would've said Saratoga.
