Five stakes – two of them graded – worth a guaranteed $625,000 will be offered before the meet concludes.

The richest of the stakes is the $200,000 –guaranteed Great Lady M. Stakes, a holdover from the Summer Thoroughbred Festival run in July the previous two years.

A Grade II for fillies and mares – 3-year-olds & up – will be run Saturday, April 23. The defending champion is Fantastic Lady, who is owned by Kaleem Shah and trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert.

A longtime fixture at Hollywood Park and run the past two years at Santa Anita, the Grade III, $100,000-guaranteed Los Angeles Stakes will be contested at Los Alamitos for the first time Saturday, April 16.

Scheduled for 5 ½ furlongs, the Los Angeles is for 3-year-olds & up and could attract San Onofre and Wild Dude, the 2-3 finishers in the 2015 renewal.

The L.A. is one of two stakes to be run Saturday. The other is the $100,000-guaranteed Bertrando, a one-mile race for 3-year-olds & up bred or sired in California.

Two stakes being run for the first time complete the schedule.

The $75,000 Surfside goes Sunday, April 24 and the $150,000 California Chrome will be offered Saturday, April 30.

Named for the multiple Grade I winner and 3-year-old filly champion of 2000 trained by Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas for owner-breeder Overbrook Farm, the Surfside is for 3-year-old fillies at six furlongs.

Honoring longtime Los Alamitos resident as well as 2014 Horse of the Year, the California Chrome is for 3-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.

Presented by Keeneland Select
Emma-Jayne Wilson (rider of Shakhimat)

“I don’t know if I thought the win was going to be that easy, but I thought getting the lead was definitely going to be in our wheelhouse. Looking through the Form, we were the only legitimate pace.
