Four stakes for 2-year-olds–including a pair of graded races–highlight the upcoming Winter Thoroughbred meet at Los Alamitos.
The six-day season is scheduled to begin Friday, Dec. 6 and continue through Sunday, Dec. 15. Racing will be conducted on a Friday-Sunday basis (Dec. 8-10 and 15-17) both weeks. Post time will be 12:30 p.m.
The $200,000-guaranteed GII Starlet Stakes, for 2-year-old
fillies, will be renewed for the 11th time at Los Alamitos Saturday, Dec. 7 one week before the $200,000-guaranteed GII Los Alamitos Futurity, which was captured by Wynstock in 2023.
Won a year ago by Nothing Like You, the Starlet–like the Futurity–will be contested at 1 1/16 miles.
The other two stakes for juveniles will be run at one mile and are ungraded. The $100,000 Soviet Problem Stakes will be offered Sunday, Dec. 8 while the $100,000 King Glorious will be run Sunday, Dec. 15. Both are for horses bred or sired in California.
