Racing at Tampa Bay Downs
Offsetting a Dec. 22 card cancelled due to rain storms, Tampa Bay Downs will add a full card of Thoroughbred racing on Thursday, Jan. 23 after its request to add the date was approved by the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering.
"We appreciate the state's action in permitting us to race on Jan. 23," said Peter Berube, the track's vice president and general manager. "We plan to race 90 days during the 2019-2020 meeting, and the Thursday date gives our horsemen another opportunity to compete."
Tampa Bay Downs races each Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday through May 3, with the exception of Easter Sunday, April 12, when the track is closed.
