Tampa Bay Downs Free Horse Racing Pick (04/26/23)

Tampa Bay Downs is the place to be today for horse racing fans, with three exciting races lined up for the day. We’ve got all the information you need to make informed bets on these races, including jockey information, morning line odds, and our top picks for the exacta and trifecta bets.

But first, let’s take a look at the Double Dutch Betting system, which is a favorite of sports handicapper Ron Raymond. This system involves betting on one horse in the race to win and/or place. If your chosen horse finishes second, you can get your money back, depending on the odds. It’s a simple and effective system that can help you win big on the races.
