CYPRESS, CA–FEBRUARY 16, 2026–Nominations for the 2027 Los Alamitos Oaks, restricted to 3-year-old fillies, are closing and must be postmarked no later than February 19. The Grade 1 event will be contested during the March 2027 meet and requires an initial $500 payment to establish eligibility

At the same time, sustaining payments are due for multiple 2026 stakes races including the Golden State Derby, Vessels Maturity, and the Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity.

Horsemen who previously nominated but missed a payment may still remain eligible through the late double payment option. That option applies to the Los Alamitos Super Derby (2026 and 2027), the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity, and the Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity — including the February 15 sustaining payment.

Late nomination opportunities are also available for horses not previously nominated to the Golden State Derby and the Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity.
