A half-century before the NFL arrived in Tampa; 66 years before the birth of the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey franchise; and 72 years prior to Major League Baseball welcoming a team in St. Petersburg, Florida‘s west coast became home to big-time Thoroughbred racing. Matt J. Winn, legendary promoter of the Kentucky Derby, teamed with Ohio investor Harvey Mayers to bring horse racing to the ―Top of the Bay‖ in 1926. Since then, Tampa Bay Downs has provided area sports fans and visitors with live racing action from late autumn through May, while in 2013 adding an annual two-day Summer Festival of Racing held each June 30 and July 1. Originally opened as Tampa Downs, the racetrack has amassed a long and colorful history. It was renamed Sunshine Park in 1947 and entered the modern era that year with the installation of an electric starting gate, photo-finish camera and electronic tote board. The racetrack became popular with sportswriters who came to the area to cover baseball spring training. Grantland Rice, Red Smith, and Arthur Daley were devoted regulars, describing the track as the ―Santa Anita of the South.‖ In 1965, the track was acquired by a group of Tampa sportsmen and renamed Florida Downs. It became Tampa Bay Downs 15 years later after another change in ownership. The current owners assumed the reins before the start of the 1986-1987 season, and the facility has been in a state of constant improvement since. In the spring of 1997, Mrs. Stella Thayer, President and Treasurer of Tampa Bay Downs, announced plans for the installation of a 7/8-mile turf course with a quarter-mile chute. The course was completed in the spring of 1998 and the first turf race was contested on Kentucky Derby Day, May 2, 1998, as excited fans watched the from the infield. This improvement has provided more opportunities for horsemen and patrons alike. In 2003 Tampa Bay Downs launched The Downs Golf Practice Facility, a state-of-the-art, first-of-its-kind golf practice and wagering facility. The 22 acres of fully lighted golf property include 270 yards of open range for full-swing shots, plus putting and short-game areas. The Downs Golf Clubhouse features a fully stocked pro shop, snack bar and wagering terminals complete with numerous TV monitors to catch all the action. The opening of the 2003-2004 season saw the debut of The Silks Poker Room. In July of 2007, the Florida Legislature granted Tampa Bay Downs permission to operate The Silks Poker Room year-round. It is now open daily from 10 a.m.-4 a.m. In 2007, the track‘s profile skyrocketed when Street Sense used his thrilling nose victory in the then-Grade III Tampa Bay Derby as a springboard to winning the Kentucky Derby. In 2010, third-place Tampa Bay Derby finisher Super Saver triumphed in the Run for the Roses, and the Tampa Bay Derby was awarded Grade II status the following spring. It is one of six graded stakes conducted annually at Tampa Bay Downs. The 2011-12 season was highlighted by eight track records and a 3-percent increase in on-track handle to more than $40 million. Bettors her- alded the introduction of Trakus, an electronic system which displays the position and location of each horse during a race. Prior to the start of the 2013-14 season, the grandstand was remodeled to include a pub-style gathering place, Riders Up!, featuring marble countertops, a candy-apple redwood finish and a variety of craft beers. Also new on the downstairs level of the grandstand is the Metro Deli, de- signed to resemble an old-time, big-city eatery. Contemporary racing fans, journalists and horse lovers embrace the Downs for its distinctive, country fair-style charm, and it is regarded far and wide as one of America‘s most pleasant and well-maintained racetracks. 3 CONTACT INFORMATION Physical Address Mailing Address 11225 Race Track Road P.

    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.

Trained by Louisville native Brad Cox, who never has saddled a Kentucky Derby starter, and to be ridden by Luis Saez, Essential Quality will attempt to become the first reigning juvenile champion since Nyquist in 2016 to win the Run for the Roses that highlights a 14-race program that begins at 10:30 a.m. (all times Eastern). The Kentucky Derby will go as the day’s 12th race with a 6:57 p.m. post time. NBC will provide live coverage from 2:30-7:30 p.m. Essential Quality is perfect in five starts in a career that began on Derby Day 2020 with a 4-length victory in a six-furlong maiden race at Churchill Downs on Sept. 5. Following that victory, Grade I victories followed in the Breeders’ Futurity and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Keeneland to cement the Eclipse Award for the son of Tapit. This year, Essential Quality won the Southwest (GIII) at Oaklawn Park over a sloppy track and then the Blue Grass Stakes (GII) at Keeneland.
