In a maritime milestone, this grand sailing race hits freshwater for the first time with the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series Chicago qualifying event. "There is no better stadium than Chicago for this style of racing," observes Chicago event director Tod Reynolds. "The Windy City is truly made for this." With a race village built out at Navy Pier (complete with grandstands, entertain- ment, and a Dark 'N Stormy bar), the course stretches toward Museum Campus for an unforget- table lakefront weekend. June 10-12. Navy Pier, 600 E. Grand Ave., acws- chicago.americascup.com HORSING AROUND. Chicago Polo returns for the 94th year with its summer season begin- ning in June.
