Excerpt:

In recent years, Allred, 73, has had an active role in the day-to-day management at Los Alamitos, despite suffering a minor stroke in 2007. He spoke before the racing board in February, arguing for an increased takeout on wager as a way to offset losses in the statewide simulcast market.

Earlier this year, Allred decided to eliminate one day of racing per week because of a shortage of horses at Los Alamitos. Currently, the track runs on a Friday-through-Sunday basis.

I wish him well on his semi-retirement. From here he seemed to run a good track!
