Arlington Million
Encyclopedia

for thoroughbred
horses aged three years and upward. It is raced over a distance of 1¼ miles (approximately 2,000 metres) on the turf at Arlington Park
, Arlington Heights

succeeded in winning the race twice. On August 30, 1981, Willie Shoemaker
became the first jockey to win a $1 million thoroughbred horse race when John Henry
took the inaugural Arlington Million by a nose over The Bart. The track famously ran the Arlington Million in 1985 under the shadow of a burnt out grandstand, the victim of a fire 25 days earlier. In 2007, Jambalaya
became the first Canadian
bred horse to win the Arlington Million and his trainer, Catherine Day Phillips the first female trainer to ever win the race.
