Horse Racing

 I love horse racing. We are fortunate in Tampa to have one of the few horse racing tracks in the south. Tampa Bay Downs is a thoroughbred racing facility built in 1926. The track operates from early December until Kentucky Derby weekend.

 Covered seating provides a comfortable way to watch the races as it is usually quite warm here even in the winter time.

 And...they're off !!

 Simulcasting shows the races going on all over the country. You can wager on any race at any track that is running in the country. I can come here on Derby day and wager on the Kentucky Derby.

I close with a picture of the great Verrazano..winner of the 2013 Tampa Bay Derby and the Wood Memorial
