CYPRESS (CNS) - Another horse has died while training at Los Alamitos Race Course.
Call Sign Lucky was a 3-year-old gelding who had seven races and two second-place finishes to his credit. He died Saturday, according to the California Horse Racing Board, which listed the cause of death as “accident.
Neither Los Alamitos nor the CHRB could be reached for more information.
He is the fifth horse to die while training at Los Alamitos since the CHRB granted the track a one-year license to continue conducting quarter horse racing in January.
Los Alamitos was briefly placed on probation by the CHRB on July 10, 2020 due to a spate of racehorse deaths. At that time at least 20 horses had died at the track in 2020 after suffering racing or training injuries, and another 10 had succumbed to gastrointestinal and other types of illnesses.

The community spirit continues to be at the forefront of Los Alamitos Race Course this holiday season with racetrack owner Ed Allred donating $18,560 to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Anaheim-Cypress in the form of a check on Tuesday afternoon.
George Pardon, a board member with the Los Alamitos Quarter Horse Racing Association, made the check presentation to John Machiaverna, the Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Anaheim-Cypress.
“This comes at a great time,” Machiaverna said. “We are struggling to keep our doors open. We have a limited number of kids that can come into the facilities now, so every dime is very important. We are doing food distributions, we are serving families, we are helping kids, and we have expanded our outreach to include whole families. We really appreciate it.”
