Los Alamitos Race Course in Cypress, California, was approved for a one-year quarter horse racing license by a 4-3 vote by the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) Jan. 21. The decision by the board came just four days after two horses died during training at the track.
Although Los Alamitos supporters, including horse owners, breeders, and trainers, expressed support of the one-year license, the board approval came with the caveat that CHRB could stop racing at any time.
