Arlington Park Racecourse

The history of Arlington Park spans more than 80 years of struggles and successes. Described as "the most beautiful track in America", Arlington began Thoroughbred racing on October 13, 1927, when more than 20,000 fans braved the cold weather to celebrate the event in high style. Jockey Joe Bollero guided Luxembourg to victory in the first race ever at Arlington.

Arlington Park will race 91 days in 2010, from Thursday, April 29 through Sunday, Sept. 26. Racing will be held four days per week - Thursday through Sunday - for the entire season with special holiday Monday cards on May 31 (Memorial Day), July 5 (Independence Day observed) and Sept. 6 (Labor Day).
