Enhanced Awards for Owners of Illinois Breds in Open Races Will Continue at Arlington

Owners of Illinois foaled or Illinois conceived and foaled horses finishing in the top three of an open conditioned race or an open claiming race of $10,000 or greater will continue to see the benefit of awards above what the law provides. The ITHA has reached an agreement with Arlington Park under which the track will continue to boost those awards through the end of this meet. Arlington also intends to re-evaluate next spring, based on the health of the horsemen's purse account, whether to extend the practice into next summer's meet.
