They were butting heads with Derby Lane in St. Pete...both running live racing at the same time...this area can't support two tracks running simultaneously....people living in Tampa will drive to St. Pete for live racing to avoid going to Tampa Greyhound...no comparison between the two tracks for live racing...

They are shutting down live racing to become a full time poker facility...

Walking into tampa's track, you had better be carrying an uzi, I've actually seen assault's take place there. Derby lane is such a beautiful track, but like all good things, it too is nearing its death. I was there a few months ago and in race 5 there was 106 dollars in the win pool.... Now I'm not a mathmetician but Making your own odds is a very very bad proposition.
