LOS ALAMITOS, CA—DECEMBER 5, 2016—Los Alamitos Race Course will host its richest race of the year this Sunday night with the running of the $2,000,000 Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity. Ten two-year-old horses will run in the 400-yard race, all hoping for a chance to win a first-place prize of $801,381.

One of the top contenders in the rich Los Alamitos Two Million is the Jaime Gomez-trained bay gelding Katella Deli, named after the famous restaurant, bakery and delicatessen The Katella Deli, which is located ¾ miles west from the Cypress racetrack.

On Saturday morning, Katella Deli, the horse, and the wonderful crew that cares for him, met three of the friendly employees from The Katella Deli, bakery manager Ana Chresaidos and team members Alyssa Pascual and Brenda Maturino.

The Katella Deli staff brought the entire Gomez racing team some of their most popular and best-selling items, a fresh tray full of delicious Christmas cookies and their world famous Cinnamon Bagel Chips and Garlic Parmesan Bagel Chips, to congratulate them and the bay runner for qualifying to Sunday’s big Quarter Horse race at Los Alamitos.

“We want to wish Katella Deli best of luck and we hope he wins the Los Alamitos Two Million on Sunday night,” Chresaidos said. “We’ll be rooting for our restaurant’s namesake.”

“I love my horse Katella Deli and we love the Katella Deli,” Gomez added “We are looking forward to a great race on Sunday.”
