Horse racing, Tampa Bay Downs

Tampa Bay Downs opinions for Saturday, Feb. 27

Preview: They were off the turf for all but one race on Wednesday and Thursday, but hopefully it’s firm finally. Speaking of the turf, some jockeys to stay away from would be Pablo Morales (2-47), Dean Butler (1-27), Jose Garcia (1-23), Keiber Coa (0-27), Chelsy Keiser (0-26) and Huber Villa-Gomez (0-24).

Race 2: #7 Rockin Donovan (15-1)

You usually don’t see these connections of jockey Daniel Centeno and trainer Joe Woodard with horse like this on morning-line. We figure at this level if they are willing to ride/run, then we’re willing to take a shot.

==                              

Race 5:  #9 Bank Float (turf only) (5-2)

Jockey Daniel Centeno and trainer Arnaud Delacour have hit at 24% rate the meet and higher on the turf. This gelding’s only two wins came on grass and he had to need his last which is why he ran on the dirt.

Race 9: #7 Showersofblessings (turf only) (12-1)

This mare is running her third race off a layoff and trainer Michele Boyce is 30% in that situation. Jockey Fernando De la Cruz is 36% with Boyce.

Tampa Bay Downs opinions for Wednesday, Feb. 3

Preview: Let’s hope the bad weather is done in Tampa as there was only one day with turf racing last week. Ronnie Allen Jr. led all jockeys last week with six winners and followed closely by Antonio Gallardo, who had five.

Race 5: 7 Apache Queen (turf only) (6-1)

This filly drops out of a Gulfstream Park MSW that has produced four next out winners. She will be trying turf and two turns for the first time, but she is dropping in class and gets leading rider Antonio Gallardo.

==                                

Race 6:  #3 Fionetta (3-1)     

This speedy mare has won her only career races over this track. She will stay at the same level but gets a cut back in distance and keeps leading jockey Antonio Gallardo for trainer Dale Bennett.

==

Race 8: #6 Classic Blaze (5-1)          

Trainer Victor Carrasco Jr., who is 26% first off the claim, claimed this gelding last time and now takes him off the turf and runs him in an elongated sprint. This one should be plenty fit and jockey Jose Garcia is 11% with Carrasco.
