It was a good day at Los Alamitos Race Course for the owner of the track and the vice president of its racing association – their horse Wynstock won the $200,000 Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) at odds of 13-1. Neither Dr. Edward Allred nor F. Jack Liebau were too worried about a stewards’ inquiry af...
