Okay, so I wanted to check out the horse races at Los Alamitos. I’d heard a lot about this place, and it sounded like fun. Plus, who doesn’t love a good day at the races, right?

First, I had to figure out how to get the entry information. I started by doing some digging online. I found out that the track does Quarter Horse, Arabian, and thoroughbred racing, mostly at night. That’s pretty cool, a little different from the usual daytime races. And the admission was only $3! Can’t beat that price.
I learned that the track has a long history, started way back in 1951. A guy named Edward C. Allred, who was just a kid back then, is now the big boss. It’s kind of amazing how someone can grow up around something and then become the owner. Anyway, the track itself sounded impressive – a wide final straightaway and some long homestretch. Sounds like it would be pretty exciting to watch the horses come down to the finish line.
Next, I needed to actually find the entries for the day I wanted to go. I came across this site called Equibase. It seemed like the place to go for all the official stuff, like entries, scratches, and any changes. I also found out that you could get expert picks for Los Alamitos, which I thought could be useful, maybe I’d even win some money!
- Check the schedule: I looked up the race schedule on their website.
- Find the entries: Equibase had all the details, including which horses were running, their jockeys, and other info.
- Get some picks: I looked at some expert picks to get an idea of who might win.
I found the track’s number, (714) 820-2800, and even a number for club reservations, (714) 820-2681. The address is 4961 Katella Ave. Seemed like they had everything covered. There was even something about creating an account on some DRF thing to get free PPs and place bets. I didn’t go that far, but it’s good to know it’s there.
So, I got all the info I needed and headed to Los Alamitos. It was a fun night! The races were exciting, and the atmosphere was great. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend checking out if you’re into horse racing or just looking for a fun night out. And for $3, you really can’t go wrong.

Takeaway
Getting the entry information for Los Alamitos was pretty straightforward. Equibase is the go-to source, and the track’s website has all the other details you need. It was a fun experience, and I’m glad I went. If I can do it, anyone can! I would absolutely go again.
