Now, if every race were contested at beautiful Zia Park in lovely Hobbs, N.M., we would never have a care in the world; that place just gets along nicely with BestLine, undoubtedly. We would even get past the fact that they don’t have a turf course there, and that some of the races are for ’murrikan Quarter Horses — yee-hawwwwwwwww! At any rate, here’s Zia today, great place, believe us when we tell you, and we never get donuts there, only champagne and caviar! Or something
like that. Race 2 just looks all over the place, as do Races 6, 8 & 9. Race 5 has a 48.3pc top-chance BestLiner, if you dance around the firsters. Jam-/jelly-filled donuts always good to provide a little tartness and contrast against sweetness of the rest of the doughnut.
