Freddy, do you know what a MSW purse at Tampa Bay Downs was in 1996? $4,200
The Sam Davis had a $25,000 purse - it's now a Graded Derby prep.
My father trained horses at Tampa in the 70's ... he told me Finger Lakes was unquestionably a cut above Tampa. Fort Erie was several cuts above.
Thistle Downs was a cut above Tampa.
Tampa was just a notch above places like Waterford Park and Commedore (the old Erie bullring)
