Totally agree with your assessment, scav. This is the first year, I am looking at Arlington from an owner's perspective and it's worse than I thought.
I'll probably still hang out on a grassy hill and watch some races on a nice sunny summer day, but will likely not see many of my own horses run there. Tom Proctor's twitter reply to Arlington Race Course recently: Arlington Intl. @Arlington_Park Mar 20 A big #WelcomeSpring from Arlington! We may not have this much green yet, but at least we know it's coming soon! Tom Proctor @TProctorRacing @Arlington_Park @HRTVinsider maybe grass but not $$$$ Don't think we'll be seeing Tom bring many horses up to AP this year after that comment. O

In fact, the best strategy might be to pick off a few talented horses whose owners are fed up with AP and race them on other poly tracks like PID or Woodbine.

Otis & Scav,
So assuming they negotiate something 11th hour and salvage a half ass meet, all the issues get kicked down the road to 2016? When you try to explain to someone that is is not an old decaying venue but a true gem of a property , you get that quizzical look from non Chicagoans. ![]()
