Live horse racing returns to Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino for the 2025-2026 season starting January 2, 2026, with races running through April. A highlight event, the 35th KLAQ Handicap, takes place on Sunday, January 4th. Fans have a chance to win $100 by calling in during the week to join Dubba G at the KLAQ table for a free lunch and a $10 betting stake on the race. The participant whose bet wins the most money out of all 10 KLAQ winners receives an additional $100 to bet.
The betting format is flexible, allowing wagers on win, place, show, trifecta, or any combination. A track expert will be available for advice, though Dubba G humorously admits to having a poor betting record. The event offers a fun and interactive way for fans to engage with live horse racing at Sunland Park while enjoying food, drinks, and the thrill of competition.
