Tampa wouldnt be a viable racing option IF it the weather wasnt OK.. Racing for 20k in a mdn spl is a joke.

I think Turf Paradise has one of the best turf courses in the country right now too.

Gulfstream's turf course if really quite nice, which is quite a change from the prior version, which was awful.

My favorite turf courses are Kentucky Downs and Canterbury Downs--the latter always looked like a pasture, with LONG grass (haven't seen it in years, however)

Tampa's course is great and so's Sam Houston's though they hardly use it.
