Current Year
Numerous changes are in store for the 2011-12 meeting that will benefit fans, horsemen and the environment. The most noticeable will be the introduction of Trakus, an electronic tracking system which displays the exact position and location of each horse on television monitors during a race. Tampa Bay Downs also is in the initial stages of a green initiative that track management hopes will eventually result in a net-zero impact on the environment. Improvements in place for the meeting include a CREE LED lighting system in the clubhouse and grandstand and the installation of a Gaco Sil S-20 Cool Roof coating system.

“Beneath the azure current floweth;
Above, the golden sunlight glows.
