Jamie Zamora, currently racing secretary for Ruidoso Downs, has been named to that same position for the 2021 Zia Park race meet that begins on Sunday, Sept. 26, in Hobbs, N.M.
A New Mexico native, Zamora has held a multitude of racing and racing office positions in her over 40 years in the horse racing industry. Zamora has worked as a licensed groom, trainer, owner, jockey agent, program coordinator, chart caller, entry clerk, clerk of course and since 2013 has served as assistant racing secretary at both Zia Park and Ruidoso Downs.
“I'm excited to lead the Zia Park racing office for the upcoming season,” said Zamora. “With our gaming and racing operations now coming back online to full strength we will have a much improved overnight purse schedule (nearly $200,000 per day) and a stakes program that will be more robust than last year's scaled back version.”
“Jamie has done a great job over the past several years behind the scenes in keeping the racing office running smoothly and we know she will make the most of this opportunity,” said William Belcher, Zia Park vice president and general manager.
Stall applications for the 36-day Zia Park race meet are now available at www.ziaparkcasino.com/racing. The same link contains nomination forms for the New Mexico Classic Futurity and Derby for New Mexico bred Quarter Horses with the next payment date scheduled for July 15. A complete 2021 stakes schedule will be available by early July.
