Arlington International Racecourse Statement on ADW
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (Nov. 7, 2013) – Arlington International announced today that there was no action on the various proposals in extending advance deposit wagering (ADW) that would provide funding to the Illinois Racing Board and allow a full racing schedule to be conducted in 2014. Arlington International and TwinSpires.com, both owned by Churchill Downs Incorporated, are committed to extending ADW during the next legislative session.
Churchill Downs Incorporated has invested $240 million in the development of ADW technologies and establishing the state’s leading ADW company. ADW is the only source of revenue that has shown year over year growth and increased wagering revenue to tracks and purses for owners.
Arlington International and its parent company Churchill Downs Incorporated are committed to preserving jobs in the racing industry from revenues that the tracks and horsemen receive from ADW.
