Los Alamitos off probation after new safety plan approved
The board voted 6-0 remotely on Monday to allow Los Alamitos to continue operating. According to the board, 21 horses have died from racing or training at the track in 2020, including 10 since May 26. We want to give the track at Los Alamitos the backbone to crack down, said Commissioner Wendy Mitchell, who was the lone dissenter in voting against probation. Los Alamitos was the only track in California allowed to continue operating during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. Animal activists spoke out against Los Alamitos and urged the board to shut down racing in California during the 30-minute public comment period.
