CYPRESS (CNS) - The California Horse Racing Board will meet by teleconference today to consider if it will grant Los Alamitos Race Course a license to conduct quarter horse racing in the 2020-21 season, following a cluster of equine deaths that prompted the board to briefly place the track on probation earlier this year.
Los Alamitos is holding nighttime quarter horse races through Dec. 20, without fans due to the coronavirus. The new license would allow the track to hold quarter horse races commencing on Dec. 23 this year through Dec. 21, 2021.
The license application was on last month s agenda meeting, but it was tabled so the track could present a plan to reduce the number of horses receiving corticosteroid intra-articular joint injections.
