A couple rambling thoughts. Good to hear that the state is finally doing the right thing. Because Arlington runs in the summer and in competition with SPA & Del Mar, it’s going to be tough for them to put together a decent card that would get my attention. The only way I see it happening is, if they somehow could specialize in turf races. They’re not going to beat those two tracks dirt races. At least when Arlington has to take a race off the turf , it moves to flubber which isn’t as much a difference. Maybe the Arlington million will get a purse boast now. It’s been the same for almost 40 years. According to inflation, should be $2.8 million. If they just go the statebred route then the whole thing is garbage. Welfare for the local horsemen.
