Arlington International Racecourse

about this track

Originally known as Arlington Park, Arlington International Racecourse combines the elegance of its modern facility with the tradition and excitement of Thoroughbred racing to serve as a showcase for the sport of kings.

The unsurpassed beauty of the magnificent six-story grandstand is only a small part of the Arlington experience, however. Since re-opening on June 28, 1989, Arlington, under the innovative and determined leadership of Richard L. Duchossois, has been dedicated to the concept of family entertainment.

Arlington is creating a new generation of Thoroughbred racing fans with an aggressive marketing program highlighted by successful theme days-such as Family Day and Party in the Park- and an overriding emphasis on customer service and satisfaction.

Arlington's marquee racing day comes each August with the Arlington Million, an international turf showcase, on a day that also features the Grade 1 Beverly D. Stakes and the Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes.
