Los Alamitos adds pair of stakes to closing weekend

Los Alamitos has added two $75,000 overnight stakes to the final weekend of the current meeting, which runs through Sept. 26.

The Lucky Spell Stakes for California-bred 3-year-old fillies at six furlongs is scheduled for Friday, while the Royal Owl Stakes for statebred 2-year-old fillies at 5 1/2 furlongs will be run Sept. 26.

The meeting was scheduled to have five stakes, but the $75,000 Beverly Lewis Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on Sept. 11 was scrapped because of insufficient entries. If the remaining stakes fill on the closing weekend, the three-week meeting will have seven stakes.

Sunday’s Dark Mirage Stakes was a late addition to the schedule.
