Tampa Bay Downs, which has long been famous as the only Thoroughbred race course on Florida‘s west coast, provides Bay area sports fans and visitors with live racing action from December through May, plus an annual two-day Summer Festival on June 30 and July 1. Originally opened as Tampa Downs in 1926, 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. During the 1950s, the racecourse was a popular attraction with sportswriters who came to the Tampa Bay area to cover baseball spring training. Legendary names like Grantland Rice, Red Smith, and Arthur Daley became regular visitors, calling the track the ―Santa Anita of the South.‖ Contemporary racing fans and journalists embrace the Downs for its distinctive, country fair-style charm, and it is known it to be one of America‘s most pleasant and well-kept racetracks. In 1965, the track was acquired by a group of Tampa sportsmen and renamed Florida Downs. In 1980, during another switch in ownership, the track was renamed Tampa Bay Downs. Present ownership assumed the reins just prior to the 1986-1987 season, and the facility has been in a state of constant improvement since then. The conclusion of the 1997 season signaled a new era for the Tampa oval as Mrs. Stella Thayer, President and Treasurer of Tampa Bay Downs, announced 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. 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. Area poker fans enjoyed the debut of The Silks Poker Room with the opening of the 2004 season. In July of 2007, the Florida Legislature grant- ed Tampa Bay Downs the right to operate The Silks Poker Room year-round, allowing Bay area card players to take part in poker tournaments during both the live racing season and in summer months. The Silks Poker Room is now open daily from 10 a.m.-4 a.m. 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 herald- ed the introduction of Trakus, an electronic system which displays the position and location of each horse during a race and provides handicap- pers with a wealth of valuable information. The track installed a CREE LED lighting system throughout the clubhouse and grandstand and a Ga- co Sil S-20 ‗Cool Roof‘ coating system as part of an ongoing green initiative. Prior to the start of the 2012-13 season, the track introduced a state-of-the-art geothermal cooling system designed to save energy and costs while requiring virtually no maintenance. The 2012-13 season was highlighted by the 33rd renewal of the Grade II, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby for 3-year-olds. For the first time in race history, the top three finishers — Verrazano, Java‘s War and Falling Sky — advanced to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, and Verrazano went on to win the Grade I Wood Memorial at Aqueduct and the Grade I Haskell at Monmouth and Java‘s War won the Grade I Toyota Blue Grass at Keeneland. The $200,000 Florida Oaks, Tampa Bay Downs‘ premier race for 3-year-old fillies, was elevated to Grade III status by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, giving Tampa Bay Downs six graded stakes. 3 CONTACT INFORMATION Physical Address Mailing Address 11225 Race Track Road P.

    Gimme Da Lute Over Prospect Park in Los Alamitos Derby

    Gimme Da Lute over Prospect Park in Los Alamitos Derby or the second time in less than one month, Gimme Da Lute got the better of Prospect Park, holding off his rival by a nose to win the Grade II, $350,000 Los Alamitos Derby Saturday.The 1-2 finishers in the Grade III Affirmed Stakes FJune 7 at Santa Anita dominated the Derby, finishing nearly eight lengths in front of pacesetter and 2-5 favorite Kentuckian. Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert for owner-breed- ers Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, Gimme Da Lute, a 3-year-old son of Midnight Lute and the Proud Citizen mare Casino Gold, tracked the leader for most of the 1 1/8 miles, got the lead entering the long stretch and scored under jockey Martin Garcia as the 3-1 second choice. The win in 1:47.09 was the fourth in seven starts for Gimme Da Lute and the $210,000 payday increased his bankroll to $457,560. He paid $8.60 and $4.20.The place price on Prospect Park, the 7-2 third choice, was $4.20. There was no show wagering. Although Gimme Da Lute had started his career win- Gimme Da Lute holds off Prospect Park ning two of three races at 5 ½ and 6 ½ furlongs, Baffert said he realized after the Affirmed - which is run at 1 1/16 miles - the colt had wanted more distance all along.
