Arlington Park Night Racing Deferred by Illinois Racing Board
The Illinois Racing Board delayed decision on Arlington Park’s bid for nighttime thoroughbred racing in 1969 after four hours of protests. A Jan. 13 meeting was set to pursue a ruling. Residents near the track warned of traffic, noise, lights, and crime. Arlington Heights attorney Jack Siegel questioned the board’s authority. Harness groups warned night racing could hurt sulky revenue and breeding, and state wagering might decline overall.
