LOS ALAMITOS RACECOURSE |
 |
| Situated in Cypress in the state of
California, Los Alamitos racecourse was opened in 1951, although racing had taken place
before that in the vicitiny of the racecourse when Frank Vessels held match races at his
ranch as early as 1947. That first meeting began on 4th December 1951 and lasted for 11
days. |
 |
The Vessels estate continued to administer the racecourse
for 30 more years and then it changed hands on a number of occasions until 1990 when
purchased by Ed Allred. |
|
| The principal races are the Champion of
Champions race for quarter horses, the Los Alamitos $2 Million Futurity and the Los
Alamitos Super Derby. |
| |
The Los Alamitos $2 Million Futurity was first contested in
1995. In 2007 One Famous Eagle was successful and in the Los Alamitos Super Derby. |
