On each racing day, Internet station Radiostpete https://radiostpete.com/ will carry track announcer Richard Grunder's live call of Tampa Bay Downs's feature race.
Bob Bauer, HRFLA handicapper and Tampa Bay editor, will provide a preview as the horses go to the post and a recap within minutes after that "race of the day."
On days when Tampa Bay Downs has stakes races, Radiostpete will have that same coverage on all of those stakes.
Each race day, Radiostpete will carry Bauer's preview of the Tampa Bay Downs race card. His reports will air at approximately 8:10 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. On Sundays, his reports will air at approximately 9:10 a.m. and 12:10 p.m.
Bauer is a former director of publicity at Tampa Bay Downs and a former racing writer for the St. Petersburg Times.
Tampa Bay Downs has racing on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Saturday Dec. 22.
It will add Sundays to that schedule on Dec. 23, and will then have racing on Wednesdays and Fridays through Sundays until May 5.
About HorseracingFLA
HorseRacingFLA's Web site and blog provide daily coverage of racing at Gulfstream Park and overage of the business of Florida horse racing.
"We began operations in 2014 because we and others saw that daily newspapers and other media outlets have been reducing their coverage of thoroughbred racing in Florida and around the country," said HorseRacingFLA editor Jim Freer. "We are pleased that Radiostpete is again joining us to help fill that void."
