Beginning Dec. 9, there will be post-time adjustments for the final four days of the Los Alamitos Race Course Winter Thoroughbred meet. The new post time Dec. 9-10 is 12:30 p.m. PT, a half-hour earlier than the first week of the season. Post time Dec. 11-12 will be noon, also 30 minutes earlier than the previous weekend.
There will be three stakes races during the final three days of the winter season, topped by the $300,000 Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) for 2-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles Dec. 11.
The Dec. 10 program will be highlighted by the $100,000 Soviet Problem Stakes for 2-year-old fillies bred or sired in California and a winner's circle ceremony honoring trainer Art Sherman, who is retiring after an illustrious career of more than 65 years in racing as an exercise rider, jockey, and trainer.
The main event on closing day, Dec. 12, is the $100,000 King Glorious Stakes for 2-year-olds bred or sired in California. Both the Soviet Problem and King Glorious will be run at one mile.
