Last in the alphabet but first in your heart (if, and it’s not a given these days, ya Rudyard Kipling fans, if, you have a heart), Zia Park in beautiful Hobbs, N.M., where the final four races on today’s card are the ultimate sequence in which to search for a big mutuel or two; at the opposite end of the proceedings, the opener has a BestLine top choice with a 45.9pc probability of winning, and it’s not the morning-line fave, either.
If the wind is blowing out, just go for the elevated launch-angle and let the Santa Anas take you the rest of the way home!
