Tampa Bay Downs - On Winning Running Styles

Of all the things you can rely on at Tampa Bay Downs, the winning running style profile is right up there at the top of the list. An off-the-pace running style gets the job done most of the time at Tampa Bay Downs. If your horse is in lane 3 or 4 entering the stretch, that's even better. Speed holds up now and then (maybe 20% of the time) and closers win less often than that (somewhere around 10% of the time). But generally speaking, your pace pressing, stalking type is the way to go. Opening day is a week from this coming Saturday. See you at the track!
