Frank, I started going to Arlington in 1976 and enjoyed the country fair atmosphere of the old place, and love the palace that it is today. Sadly rather than sitting outside and watching quality racing we're all inside playing NY or CA. There are a few good turf races but not much else.
I remember Randall Meier trying to wire a field at Sportmans from the 8 path because the inside was dead. One of the gutsiest rides I can remember.
A trip to the SPA is on my bucket list!!! Good luck and looking forward to your pick 4 plays!!!
