Both tracks will again be racing with no spectators, and thus with no live betting.

 

They are doing that as part of their efforts to comply with federal, state and local government

guidances on limiting the size of public, gatherings amid the coronavirus (COVID-19)pandemic.

Most of the other racetracks and Off Track Betting locations that are sources of simulcast betting on Gulfstream and Tampa Bay are closed.

Fans can still watch and wager on Gulfstream and Tampa Bay races by Internet and phone with  Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) accounts.


HorseRacingFLA’s review of Equibase material shows  that the two Florida tracks are among the only five North American tracks that are running thoroughbred races this week.


The others are Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., Fonner Park in Grand Island, Neb., and Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla.


Approximately a dozen other tracks are closed because of orders from state and local governments or because of their own decisions,
