Los Alamitos to Conduct Annual Track Refresh, No Live Racing February 7-8

[Wandering Eyes]

With the maintenance team scheduled for an annual track refresh Feb. 7-8, there will be no live racing at Los Alamitos Race Course on either day, the track announced via release.

The maintenance project will begin following the conclusion of morning training Wednesday, Feb. 4. To provide the Los Alamitos staff with enough time to complete the comprehensive refresh of the one-mile dirt oval, the track will be closed for training Feb. 5-9. Training will resume Tuesday, Feb. 10, and live racing will return Saturday, Feb. 14.

The annual procedure is an integral component of Los Alamitos' ongoing efforts to maintain the highest safety standards for both horses and riders. The project will be conducted under the guidance of Dennis Moore. For the 2026 racing season, Los Alamitos has further strengthened its Inclement Weather Policy and Track Maintenance Program. To ensure maximum protection of the surface during wet-weather conditions, the track will no longer open for morning joggers when the surface has been sealed and Los Alamitos is racing on that night.

While live night racing is paused, Los Alamitos will remain open for daytime simulcasting. Please note there will be no night simulcasting from Feb. 6-8.
