Wynstock Edges Cornell In Los Alamitos Derby Photo

[Wandering Eyes]

It came down to a photo finish but WYNSTOCK (c, 3, Solomini–Timberlea, by Flatter) got the winning bob in Saturday's Los Alamitos Derby over stablemate Cornell (Into Mischief) to top a Bob Baffert-trained exacta. The race was led from the get-go by 3-5 shot Tapalo (Tapiture) who opened up a significant margin turning for home. But as that leader grew tired and began to weave around the center of the track, the Baffert runners closed in from either side and hit the line together with Wynstock, who rode the rail up the stretch, just edging out Cornell who was out in the middle. Lifetime Record: GSW, 8-3-0-0.
