CDI has officially put Arlington Park up for sale. Their plan is to sell it to developers. This is sad on many levels as this is arguably the nicest racing facility in the US. It has a perfect location but is probably too close to Rivers Casino for their liking. The word is that CDI will keep the license and use it for a new facility. When I see it I’ll believe it.

The quality of racing at Arlington has been pathetic for about 6 or 7 years now but it was a great place to spend an afternoon. I know I’ll miss it.
