Los Alamitos Readies for Upcoming Equine Sale


LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE, CYPRESS, CA—SEPTEMBER 17, 2007—The 3rd annual Los Alamitos Equine Sale is only three weeks away and activity around the sale grounds is picking up in anticipation for what should be another outstanding event.
The Los Alamitos Equine Sale will begin on Friday, October 5 with the Francisco Gonsalez Dispersal Sale of 70-head of horses, which include stakes winning stallion Make It Anywhere (Hip #70), the 2-year-old Copa King (Hip #27), who is a two-time winner at Los Alamitos, plus six foals out of Terra Cotta Red, who is the dam of 2005 Champion of Champions runner-up Like Frankie And Me. The sale will continue on Saturday, October 6 with Hip #71 through Hip #351 and will conclude on Sunday, October 7 with Hip #352 through Hip #631.

"From the moment the gavel hit after the last horse went through the sales ring last year, we've been thinking of ways to make this year's sale better for the buyers, breeders and horses," said Frank "Scoop" Vessels. "We have a strong catalog of horses and the overall quality of the horses gets better each year."

A large percentage of the sale barns are already in place said Los Alamitos Facility Manager Frank Sherren. "The grass is looking great and everything is right on schedule. We've come up with a good plan for the shavings around the barn area, which we hope will be well received by everyone."

The sale ring area will once again feature two large toteboards, one in the walking ring area and one in the front of the sale ring. There will be two additional spotters available to assist bidders. One of the spotters will be assigned the walking ring area, located behind the sale ring. Additional TVs will be made available throughout the sale grounds area. The Equine Sale will also continue its commitment to offer great food and a variety of eating and drinking options.

Wow, that'll be interesting to see how much Velvetins sells for. And Make It Anywhere.

Velvetins was sold before the sale and was therefore withdrawn. Abigal K. bought her and Jaime will remain training her. Make it Anywhere bought $230,000 but i'm not sure who bought him yet...
