Going to Florida...

Gulfstream is the perfect place because you'll never want to go again and more than likely will tell them so.

never been to tampa, but gulfstream is beautiful. it's not a horseplayer's paradise by any stretch because it's really just a glorified casino with racing.

with that said, while the facility is sort of a shithole as far as racing is concerned (because it's so secondary), it is nonetheless a beautiful facility with lots of amenities and some of the best racing around right now.

i can't wait to go back.

A related question .... Is tampa bay anything worth going to on the day of the tampa bay derby? It would require quite a bit of effort so I was wondering if it was worth it?

I am a bit biased, but absolutely.

Grade III Tampa Bay Derby - 300k
Florida Oaks - 200k
Grade III Hillsborough - 150k
Turf Dash - 75k

Sounds like a nice card to me.

I may go to gulfstream next saturday also! maybe you can give me some horses to bet... cause I always lose at the track because of beer and poor handicapping.

LOL!!! I think the beer has more to do with it than poor handicapping.
