ABOUT THE TAMPA BAY DERBY

The Tampa Bay Derby is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old horses running 1 1/16 miles on the dirt, and takes place every March at the Tampa Bay Downs racetrack in Oldsmar, Florida. The Tampa Bay Derby boasts a $400K purse and a fascinating history, with the first running of the event in 1981. The event's inaugural winner was a long shot named Paristo, who beat the odds at 35-1. The race was such a success that it was upgraded to Grade III in 1984 and continued to draw attention over the years.

Many notable horses have participated in the Tampa Bay Derby over the years, including Street Sense, who went on to win the Kentucky Derby after running in the Tampa Bay Derby. Super Saver also participated in the event and finished third before winning the Kentucky Derby. From a betting perspective, it's important to keep an eye on the Tampa Bay Derby, as it's a high-profile Championship series event on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.
