About Tampa Bay Downs

Tampa Bay Downs is a Thoroughbred racetrack in Oldsmar, Florida, in the Tampa Bay area, and the only Thoroughbred track on Florida's west coast. Founded in 1926, it has operated under several names over its long history and today races on a one-mile dirt oval with a well-regarded turf course added in the late 1990s. Its signature race is the graded Tampa Bay Derby, a Kentucky Derby prep that has been won by future Derby champions including Street Sense and Super Saver. The track holds a winter-to-spring meet running from late November into early May. It has been privately owned for decades.
