It's official. The Los Alamitos Equine Sale will consist of a three-day sale in 2008 following the addition of a Broodmare, Weanlings and Mixed-Stock session that will kick off the sale weekend on Friday, October 3 starting at 9:30 a.m. The Los Alamitos Equine Sale will then follow on Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5 with two full sale days consisting purely of Quarter Horse yearlings.

Friday's Broodmare, Weanlings, and Mixed Stock session will consist of nearly 200 head of horses highlighted by 124 broodmares and 42 weanlings. The Saturday and Sunday sessions will each start at 9:30 a.m. and will feature a total of 437 yearlings. More than 630 horses have been consigned to the 4th annual Los Alamitos Equine Sale, which is run by Los Alamitos Race Course's Ed Allred and Frank "Scoop" Vessels and managed by the Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Racing Association.

"We have for the first time separated the broodmares along with the mixed stock and some interesting weanlings to create one exciting sale day on Friday," Vessels said. "That leaves us with two full days on Saturday and Sunday of just yearlings. This will make for a very interesting sale. The broodmare catalog is as good a group as we've offered. Both Dr. Allred and Vessels Stallion Farms have consigned 25 broodmares each and these broodmares trace back to some historic families in Quarter Horse racing."

The Los Alamitos Equine Sale also announced plans to make several improvements to its cashier office while also providing even more amenities to pre-approved buyers at the sale.

"Pre-approved buyers will receive VIP treatment in terms of the cash out line and in preferred seating at the sale," Vessels added. "We've listened to suggestions from our buyers and consignors and we're confident that they'll see some very good improvements. These are changes that people have been asking for and talking about and we have listened."
