Arlington Park

Ever since Chicagoâ€™s earliest days, horse racing has been a popular sport in the region. At one point in time, Chicago had more race tracks than any other large city.

The roots of Arlington Park go back to the year 1927, when over twenty thousand spectators gathered to enjoy the first race. From the very beginning, Arlington Park was known for its technological innovations. It is known as the first track to install a public address system. Clem McCarthy, the famous race caller, was hired to describe the race action to the crowd.
