Tampa request to extend meet through May 30 is approved
Mike Welsch Tampa Bay Downs has been granted approval by the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering to extend its current meeting through May 30, Margo Flynn, vice president of marketing and publicity at the track, confirmed on Thursday. Tampa Bay, one of the few facilities in the country currently conducting a live race meet, will run on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays during the final four weeks of May. The 2019-2020 Tampa meet was scheduled to end on May 3. But with the majority of tracks around the country either closed or delaying their scheduled openings indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, Tampa, which has been conducting racing without spectators since March 18, will stay open in part to accommodate trainers stabled locally who have no place to ship their horses at the present time. Tampa management had previously informed horsemen they would be able to remain at the track at least through May 31.
