Fourth With Carryover Coming up at Tampa Bay

The fourth race is approaching at Tampa, with a Super High Five  carryover of $9,944.80.

It has eight entrants, and is a $12,500 claimer at 1 mile and 40 yards on dirt for fillies  and  mares 4-YO and up.

Western Shine (post 6) and Hold Me Tight (post 8)
are the favorites in an eight-horse field.

Track handicapper Shades has Western Shine as a  single in the Early Pick.  Hold Me Tight should be gaining late.


Good luck in finding a horses or horses not to put in the fifth hole.

If the bet is not hit in the fourth, look for a betting surge in the fifth race with an 11-horse field.

Tampa Bay's Fourth Race has $9,940 Super High Five Carryover

Tampa  Bay Downs  will not have a Super High Five today in the second and  third races, because neither race meets the required minimum of seven horses for that bet.

It will have a $9,940.80 Super High Five carryover on the fourth race, with scheduled post of 1:55 p.m.  That race has an eight-horse field. We will be back around 1:30 p.m. with a look at the race.

Tampa Bay pays out on the Super High Five only on tickets with the correct order  of the first five places. When there are no such tickets, it rolls over the full pool with no  consolation payoffs.

Tampa Bay went into today with  a $3,511 carryover on the bet.

He's the Dude, at 2-5, won the first race. He's A Miracle, at 58-1, finished second--and in effect killed all Super High Five  tickets.
