Hawthorne's thoroughbred meet is right around the corner! Best of luck to all the owners, trainers, and caretakers. I always say horse racing is the best game played outside. Come out to Hawthorne Race Course and see what all the buzz is about! The race meet will start on March 23rd.

Arlington will be missed by so many! Definitely one of our favorite tracks. Sad day for Illinois racing.

Final horse in final race is as Chicago as Arlington Park itself.
