Default Arlington: Horsemen and track in "bitter" dispute

With Arlington’s race meet set to begin May 4, the racetrack and the local horsemen’s group, the Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, are embroiled in a contract dispute that is becoming increasingly bitter. If a contract isn’t agreed upon, the horsemen could deny Arlington permission to export its simulcast signal.

“We hope good reason will prevail and overcome ego and emotions that may be involved,” Arlington general manager Tony Petrillo said. “We’re optimistic things won’t come to that.”

On the ITHA website Thursday night, the horsemen reported that Arlington would cut overnight purses by 20 percent starting opening day if a contract were not signed by April 30.
