The Grade 2, $200,000 Starlet Stakes for 2-year-old fillies will be run for the 12th time at Los Alamitos on Dec. 6. That is one week before the $200,000 Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) which was captured in 2024 by eventual Santa Anita Derby (G1) and Preakness winner Journalism.

Won last year by Bob Baffert-trained Tenma, the Starlet will be contested at 1 1/16 miles as will the Futurity.

The other two stakes for juveniles will be run at one mile and are ungraded. The $100,000 Soviet Problem for fillies will be offered Dec. 7, and the $100,000 King Glorious will be run Dec. 14. Both are for horses bred or sired in California.
