Long way to go before racing actually will happen at Arlington next summer. The IL horsemen still have to come to an agreement on a contract to race at Arlington for the summer. And as you can imagine they aren’t too happy with Arlington/CDI right now. A lot of them have left the state and will continue to leave IL to race elsewhere as Hawthorne won’t race in the spring of 2020. Why come back just to race for purses that will be at the same level or possibly even lower than they were this year? I foresee a contentious negotiation between the two parties on this contract next year.
