Default Tampa Bay Downs Simulcasting area

Hello fellow DT'er's,
Looking for any info about the simulcast area @ Tampa.
Can you get your own TV like Gulfstream?
Also, what are your favorite simulcasting places on the Gulf coast of Florida?
Thank you in advance!
Rick

Your best bet is Tampa Bay Downs. They have a Sports Gallery where you can order food and drinks and have your own TV at your table, along with private tellers so no lines.

You can get a carrel in the first floor of the Clubhouse as well if you are ok with getting your own food/drinks and betting at the regular windows.

Depending on the day (usually any time except Tampa Bay Derby Day) you can reserve a private box with it's own TV as well.

Derby Lane in St. Pete is ok but don't think you will have the options (I've bet the BC / Triple Crown races there in the past, no carrels or private TV's).

The old Tampa dog track is now just poker but I think you can get a bet in there, but I'd avoid it all together.

That's it I think there's a dog track in Sarasota but haven't been.

Thank you Rudeboyelvis!
Went to Sarasota dog track to buy DRF and looked around and wasn't impressed.
Will go ahead to make reservations at Tampa for April 1'st.👍🙏🏇💰
