Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 20, 2018 Journalists Share Posted December 20, 2018 Tampa Bay Downs cancelled live racing and morning training Friday due to ongoing heavy rain and high winds in the area. The track will remain open for simulcasting and no-limits action in The Silks Poker Room. “We’re disappointed to lose a day of racing, but our No. 1 priority is the safety of our horses, jockeys and fans,” said Peter Berube, the track’s Vice President-General Manager. “Proper track maintenance is virtually impossible with the type of weather we’ve been getting. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our fans and look forward to putting on a full 10-race card Saturday, when sunshine is expected to return.” Berube said there is a possibility the lost date could be made up later in the meeting or by adding races to existing dates.
