After The Bell: Arlington Million A Boost To Local Economy

(CBS) -- The Arlington Million on Saturday is the biggest event of the year for Arlington International and a boost for the local economy.

"We're going to see some of the best racing the Midwest has ever had. It's all top horses coming from all parts of the world, and visitors who come from all over the world. It makes Arlington International sort of a rock star in Europe," says Dick Duchossois, chairman of Arlington International.

He added horseracing is a big job provider for the state of Illinois.
