Venue thoughts for March 8

[JolyB]

This Saturday I'd like to keep us in Florida, but instead of Gulfstream, we'll head west, either on the old Tamiami Trail or across the much more rapid Alligator Alley and on up to Tampa Bay Downs.

As Racing Secretaries tend to do more and more these days, the card for their biggest day of the year includes the Tampa Bay Derby (with KY Derby qualifying points), the Florida Oaks, the Hillsborough Stakes (that's the County in which Tampa is located), and a couple of other interesting stakes races. My present inclination is to have our card cover races 3 through 12. I'll post the threads sometime on Thursday.
