With the shift in the dynamic of live racing in Illinois, Hawthorne Race Course will begin its extended spring/summer thoroughbred season on Sunday, March 5. Traditionally racing spring and fall thoroughbred meets, the shift to summer live racing will allow horsemen the ability to stay in one location for the majority of the year while offering turf racing for an extended period. In addition to the shift in schedule, Hawthorne Race Course will also offer the lowest takeout in the country on Win-Place-Show wagers.
