Los Alamitos Special to debut next month

DEL MAR, Calif. – Los Alamitos will launch a $100,000 restricted race at 1 1/4 miles during the Los Angeles County Fair meeting next month.

The Los Alamitos Special on Sept. 16 will be restricted to horses that have not won a first-place purse of $50,000 at a mile or over in their career. Track officials are hopeful the race will draw stakes-placed and allowance-class runners.

The track has four other stakes during its 12-day meeting, which runs from Sept. 6-23, including two $100,000 races at 6 1/2 furlongs for 2-year-olds offered at sales conducted by Barretts – the Debutante for fillies on Sept. 15, and the Juvenile for colts and geldings on Sept. 22.
