One of the best weekends of the year in Tucson sports is the opening of the quarterhorse racing season at Rillito Park. The first of five weekend race cards begins at 1 p.m., next Saturday and Sunday. The season ends March 10. Bob Baffert won’t be there, but a lot of people in cowboy hats will be. Can’t beat it.
