Horse racing at Saratoga began in 1863. In 1864 a new track was built across the street from the original track, which is the Saratoga Race Track that is used today. The old track was renamed the Horse Haven and was (and still is) used for training purposes.
Oklahoma Track is a nickname for the Horse Haven, supposedly for its not-so-close proximity to the main Saratoga Race Track. It is said that someone once complained that the Horse Haven was so far away from the main track that "it might as well be in Oklahoma".
How did The Oklahoma Training Track get it's name? The explaination is more mundane than musical. The accepted story is that one day, someone griped that the training track was so far away from the main track, "it might as well be in Oklahoma." Seriously. That's it.
