Take part in this great thoroughbred racing club in Chicago!  We meet at Arlington Park Race Course in the Summer and Hawthorne during the Spring and Autumn. You will socialize with great people who love to have fun at the track.  Members also learn handicapping from a professional within the racing industry, and have opportunities for close interaction with the racehorses.

Hospitality events, ezines, and the opportunity to get involved with future club race horses! Women are welcome.
