With 20 days remaining in the 2018 season, Arlington Park will add an additional 14 races to its race schedule due to the success of this year’s Arlington International Festival of Racing. Highlighted by the 36th running of the GI Arlington Million, the Festival exceeded wagering projections. Arlington plans to invest its additional purse money into carding the 14 extra races.

“Thanks to the support from our customers, the 2018 Festival of Racing has been positive from a wagering standpoint,” said Tony Petrillo, Arlington’s General Manager.

Petrillo continued, “The horsemen share the common goal of the track and the public to conduct more live races, so we are pleased to provide these additional racing opportunities. Adding races is always at the top of the list of our business initiatives.”

With the exception of Sunday, Aug. 26, which will retain a first post of 1:20 p.m., all remaining cards beginning Thursday, Aug. 23, which previously had a 1:20 p.m. post time, will be moved to 1 p.m. to accommodate the additional races.
