Chi people - Washington Park Handicap

[Scav]

Adios for a couple years.

"The Washington Park is going on hiatus for a year or two," Greely said on Tuesday. "We're taking the purse money and putting it into four other races.

“We're increasing the purse of the Illinois Owners Stakes from $75,000 to $100,000, the American One Thousand Guineas from $100,000 to $200,000, and the American Sprint from $100,000 to $200,000, and we're adding a new stakes race on September 20, a 5 1/2-furlong race for three-year-olds on the turf with a $100,000 purse."

I have no idea what the American One Thousand Guineas is but I think it might be the Sea O'Erin with a different name.

What is an American sprint? No foreign breds allowed?

I think it is American Airlines but I could be wrong. I guess the guy writing this story could have meant Arlington Sprint and the Arlington One Thousand Guineas. He works for the Tribune, he has no idea
