As expected, McKinzie won the $300,000 Los Alamitos Futurity on Saturday, but just not how you might think. “I’m still mad that horse [McKinzie]) wasn’t around for the picture,” Baffert said. Because McKinzie in second, beat Instilled Regard by only a head, it was ruled the bump cost the horse second place. Nothing you can do about it.”McKinzie is named after popular Los Alamitos official Brad McKinzie, who died earlier this year at age 62 of kidney cancer. It was his second win in two starts and the 10th time Baffert has won this race.
