If it is an IL track you wager on regardless, the actual track gets the purse money.

Arlington really gets the benefit from all this because TVG just started taking bets and while Youbet is best, they weren't taking Arlington bets for a while
Though I live and bet in Illinois I rarely play Illinois races. When I went to Fairmount I was treated like a King so I am glad they are getting the benefit of my dollars. This should all play out good in April when Blago's trial starts.

Thanks for the link.
