We are excited to announce a renewed partnership with the fine folks and handicappers at 1/ST BET. Jeremy Plonk and Jeff Siegel will be sharing their expertise on a weekly basis to pass along some ponies that they like for races at various tracks around the country, including Tampa Bay Downs.
For this Wednesday, December 4 article, Jeff Siegel shares everything you need to know for the racing card at Tampa Bay Downs.
Tampa Bay Downs | Race 3 | 1:30 pm ET
#2 Spunforfun (4-1 morning line odds) has been inconsistent but ran the best race of her career the last time seen at Tampa Bay Downs in April. Returns here off a poor Delaware Park try, a track surface that can be difficult for many. Bounces back for a barn off to a hot start at Tampa to open the new meeting. Win bet #2.
Tampa Bay Downs | Race 8 | 4:00 pm ET
#1 Adios Babe (3-1 morning line odds) seeks back-to-back victories after a score at Gulfstream Park. She’s finished top 4 in 11 of her last 12 starts, over three different tracks, so her first bid ever at Tampa Bay Downs isn’t a tall task. Win bet #1.
