Tampa Bay
On Friday, there were no tickets with all five winners in the Late PIck 5 and no tickets with all six winners in the Ultimate Pick 6. In addition, there were no winning tickets in the Super Hi-5 in the ninth and final race.

Rainbow 6 Opener Won by 50-1 Shot
I'm a Rockstar (4), at 50-1, won Thursday's fourth race at Gulfstream Park--starting the Rainbow 6.
The carryover coming in was $816,547. Bettors added $271,474 to the Rainbow 6 pool.
Amadora (2), at 2-1, won the fifth race to start the Late Pick 5 and continue the Rainbow 6. Bettors put $257,849 into the Late Pick 5, which did not have a carryover.
A longshot win in the first-leg race enhances the prospect that there might be just one ticket with all six Rainbow 6 winners.
The formula for calculating the payoff produces a jackpot of about $1.03 milllion (all of the carryover plus 80 pecent of the day's new Rainbow 6 bet).
Gulfstream has guaranteed that the pool will be at least $1.35 million if there is just one ticket with all six winners.
If there are multiple winning Rainbow 6 tickets, Gulfstream takes out 20 percent of the day's Rainbow 6 bet and then adds 24 percesnt to the carryover while dividing 56 percent among winning tickets.
Gulfstream Off the Turf, Again, on Thursday
Gulfstream Park has moved all five of Thursday's scheduled-for-turf races to the dirt track that is listed as Fast.
Of the day's remaining races, three have been taken off the turf. Those are the fifth, seventh and ninth races.
Skies are clear for the nine-race card at the Hallandale Beach, Fla., track. But the recent stretch of rainy days has left the turf course in a still-drying-out condition.
Gulfstream also did not run any races on turf this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Tampa Bay Receives Regulators' Approval for Eight June Race Dates
The following is a Tampa Bay Downs news release, with an Editor's Note.
Oldsmar, Fla., May 20, 2020 – Tampa Bay Downs has added eight dates in June to its 2019-2020 Thoroughbred racing calendar after its request was approved by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
The track will conduct racing in June on Mondays and Wednesdays: June 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22 and 24. Spectators will not be allowed, nor will they be permitted to attend the track’s annual two-day Summer Festival of Racing June 30 and July 1.
The Silks Poker Room remains closed until further notice. The Downs Golf Practice Facility is open for business.
Tampa Bay Downs is racing on a Wednesday-Friday-Saturday schedule through May 30. Management expects the additional dates will help ease the financial hardship felt by many horsemen during the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis.
Fans can continue to wager on the Tampa Bay Downs races through online betting sites such as NYRA Bets, DRF Bets and TVG.
Editor's Note -- About a dozen thoroughbred tracks in northern states have delayed the opening of their stables, for training and for racing, due to the coronavirus(COVID-19) pandemic.
Numerous trainers who usually move horses to those tracks in late April or early May are instead keeping horses at Tampa Bay Downs this spring.

Tampa Bay Downs Seeks Eight June Race Dates
Editor's Note -- On Friday May 14, Tampa Bay Downs issued this news release about its application with Florida regulators to have racing on eight additional days this June.
OLDSMAR, FL. – In an effort to bolster horsemen uncertain of their next step, Tampa Bay Downs is seeking approval from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation to add eight June racing dates to its 2019-2020 season.
The dates requested are Mondays and Wednesdays: June 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22 and 24.
Tampa Bay Downs is currently racing each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday through May 30. The meeting ends on Tuesday, June 30, which is also the first day of the track’s annual two-day Summer Festival of Racing.
The Wednesday, July 1 card counts as the official start of the 2020-2021 Thoroughbred meeting which would then likely resume in late November.
(Editor's Note -Tampa Bay Downs was originally scheduled to end the regular part of its 2019-2020 meet on May 3. On April 29, it received permission from the Florida DBPR to add twelve race days in May. Tampa Bay Downs requested those dates for the same reasons it is requesting extra dates in June.)
While other tracks in the country are beginning to reopen – most notably Santa Anita, which resumes today, and Churchill Downs, which opens Saturday – the majority of spring-summer venues have pushed back their start dates or have yet to announce a revised schedule.
Tampa Bay Downs plans to continue racing without spectators, which has been the case since March 18 due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Fans by the thousands, forced indoors by the pandemic, have gravitated to online betting sites such as NYRA Bets, DRF Bets and TVG in record numbers, providing the wherewithal to keep purse money steady.
By adding the June dates, Tampa Bay Downs management hopes to help ease the financial hardship many horsemen are facing.
“The last two months have presented a challenge unlike any our sport has faced,” said Peter Berube, the track’s Vice President-General Manager. “Our trainers, jockeys, backstretch workers and security personnel have met it head-on and continued to provide racing that has brought positive recognition to Tampa Bay Downs."
Berube added: “We are proud of how everyone has responded and are hopeful the additional dates, if approved, will sustain the majority of our participants until they move to their summer and fall bases of operation."
Tampa Bay Downs has enforced strict protocol since March 18 in an effort to keep its human and equine populations healthy and safe.

Tampa Bay Starts Extended Meet on Wednesday
Tampa Bay Downs will begin the extended part of its 2019-2020 race meet on Wednesday.
The Oldsmar, Fla., track will have eight races with first post at 1:00 p.m.
Tampa Bay had been scheduled to close the meet this past Sunday May 3.
But late last month it received approval fom the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering to add twelve race dates.
Those dates are Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays for the four weeks begining this Wednesday May 6.
Since early April, Tampa Bay has been one of just five U.S. racetracks that have been holding thoroughbred races amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Along with the four other tracks, it is doing that with no spectators on site and thus with no live on-track betting.
Under the current circumstances, Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) accounts are the biggest source of betting for Tampa Bay Downs and the three other tracks that are still racing.
They are Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., Fonner Park in Grand Island, Neb., and Will Rogers Downs in Oklahoma.
Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., ended ts season last Saturday.

Gulfstream Rainbow 6 Carryover Tops $800,000
The dirt track is listed as Fast and the Turf is listed as Firm for Gulfstream Park's 12-race Sunday card.
A highlight will be the Rainbow 6, where the carryover has grown to $833,607--after seven days without the jackpot payout requirement of just one ticket with all six Rainbow 6 winning horses.
The 20 cents per combination only bet will be on races seven to12 with the sequence scheduled o start at 3:48 p.m.
Gulfstream has guaranteed that the Rainbow 6 pool will be at least $1.5 million. If the combination of the carryover and new Rainbow 6 bets is less than $1.5 million, Gulfstream will put in the difference if there is just one ticket with all six winning horses.
Gulfstream is racing again today with no spectators on site, and thus no on-track betting. It is doing that to comply with government guidances on limiting the number of persons at public events amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
