In the case of stakes races, the answer is New York. The Travers Stakes, held every year in Saratoga Springs, NY, is the oldest stakes race in the country. It has been run annually since 1864.

What flower is on Winner's Blanket at Travers Stakes?
They use carnations in colors of red and white, the Saratoga Race Track's colors. Carnations are chosen because they last long and hold up well and carnations are used on the Belmont blanket. The blanket is made the day before the race, coordinated by one person, florist, Susan Laing, who is assisted by dozens of volunteers. She started the floral blanket in 1993 because she felt that the oldest stakes race in North America deserved a floral blanket to adorn the winner.
