Al was very close, and Pam got #2 exactly right, but then she "cheated." Good research job, Pam!

Correct answers are:

1. Al's exactly right: the first regular U.S. racetrack was Newmarket Race Track, Hempstead Plain, Long Island, 1665!

2. What Pam said!

3. Actually, Saratoga Springs opened in 1863, a full 12 years before the first KY Derby.

Another contest to come!
