Arlington International Racecourse opens for likely final season
FOX 32 s Roseanne Tellez reports.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Friday marks opening day at Arlington International Racecourse.
This season could be your last opportunity to see a race at what many horse racing fans call the most beautiful track in America.
The track is up for sale after nearly a century but all the big events are back for this final year: Derby Day, Mother’s Day, July 3rd fireworks celebration and the Arlington Million, which this year is renamed for Mr. D, as in Duchossois, the track s longtime former owner.
At least one group of horsemen is making a final pitch to buy the track. They say they have the money, but convincing Churchill Downs to sell to a potential competitor to their Rivers Casino is a very long shot.
