Post Position Selection Show Now Set  For 2 PM Pacific Today at Los Alamitos Race Course

LOS ALAMITOS, CA—DECEMBER 7, 2022–There has been time change for the post-position selection show at Los Alamitos Race Course on Wednesday.

The show will now begin at approximately 2 p.m. (PST) and will take place in the Finish Line Room at Los Alamitos. The change in time will allow for more live coverage of the event on FanDuel TV.

During the show, the connections of each of the horses competing in the December 10 $750,000 Champion of Champions and December 11 $1,884,225 Los Alamitos Two Million will be able to select their post position based on a random draw that will be conducted on Wednesday morning.

Media members and horsemen are invited to attend the event. The draw and selection portion of the event is open to public.  Ed Burgart’s morning line for the 50th Champion of Champions, perhaps the most anticipated morning line in the history of Quarter Horse racing, will be announced for the first time during this draw. Burgart’s morning line for the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity will also be announced during the show.

The Champion of Champions will be headed by Dunn Ranch’s two-time defending winner Apollitical Pence and Downtime Enterprises Inc., Dean Frey, and Billy Smith’s reigning AQHA World Champion Danjer.  Full brothers Powerful Favorite and Bomb Cyclone, both owned by Rosenthal Ranch, and AQHA champion Empressum are among the other top contenders in the Champion of Champions. Grade 1 All American Derby winner A Pollitical Candy V, Grade 1 Mildred Vessels Memorial Handicap winner Pattys Saint, PCQHRA Breeders Derby winner Sweet Dasha Fire, and stakes winners Cattail Cove and Jessapolliticalgirl will complete the field.

The Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity will be headed by Steve Holt and Jeff Jones’ All American Futurity winner Hes Judgeandjury, a half-brother of Empressum, and Rosenthal Ranch’s  fastest qualifier Cyber Attack, who is a full-brother to Powerful Favorite and Bomb Cyclone. Other top juveniles in action will include Golden State Million Futurity finalists Jeriko, Hay Shaker, and AJ Born Runnin.
