Arlington Park's TV guest
Amy Jacobson, a former Channel 5 reporter, will present a trophy Saturday at Arlington Park, according to track spokesman Dan Leary. She will present the trophy at the 4:45 p.m. race. Jacobson was recently fired from WMAQ after WBBM Channel 2 played a video of Jacobson at a home with the estranged husband of a missing Plainfield woman. Leary said it's very common for the track to invite television reporters to present trophies at the track. Jacobson was invited to the track before her firing.
