TAMPA BAY DOWNS
Preview: Only an eight-race card into into the weekend. Jockey Daniel Centeno showed up on Wednesday and immediately won three races. Ronnie Allen Jr. won two on the card. On the training side, Gerald Bennett won his second and third of the early meet.
Race 3: #1 Polygram (12-1)
At this stage of his career, jockey Daniel Centeno doesn’t need to ride every race so when you see him show up on a 12-1 shot you take notice. This gelding is dropping in class and trainer Ian Hemingway won a race on Wednesday.
Race 6: #5 Darnells Spirit (4-1) (turf only)
Here’s that combination again of jockey Centeno and trainer Hemingway, who are 31% together the last year. This gelding in coming in from GPW and holds Brisnet’s late pacing rating.
Race 8: #5 Bucking Thunder (4-1) (turf only)
This gelding loves to win races (15 out of 35 lifetime).He has won 5 at 9 times at this mile distance. Jockey Dean Butler and trainer Bernell Rhone are at 16% combination.
Good luck.
