Thrilling Races Await at Tampa Bay Downs: Expert Picks and Insights

Get ready for an action-packed day at Tampa Bay Downs, as we present expert picks and insights for today’s first three races, all based on the highly regarded Raymond Track Report. For those who are new to horse racing betting, “in the money” refers to a jockey’s performance over their last 100 races, where they’ve either come in 1st (win), 2nd (place), or 3rd (show).

As you place your bets, consider Veteran Sports Handicapper Ron Raymond’s favorite horse betting system, “Double Dutch.” This system involves betting on one horse in the race to win and/or place. If the chosen horse finishes second, bettors have a chance to get their money back, depending on the odds.
