Read on for my Tampa Bay Downs picks and betting tips for Saturday, December 5, 2020.
Picks for Race 3 at Tampa Bay Downs – Inaugural Stakes
This is the Inaugural Stakes, an ungraded stakes race for two-year-olds running a distance of six furlongs for a purse of $100,000.
I'm sticking with the 2/1 morning line favorite in this stakes race — Poppy's Pride, with veteran jockey Samy Camacho in the irons. This gelding finished in the money all five of his career starts, winning three.
The longest odds in this six-horse field are 10/1, but I like those for a value show bet on Tapsasional, with Roberto Alvarado, Jr. aboard. This colt moneyed two of his three career starts.
Picks for Race 9 at Tampa Bay Downs – Sandpiper Stakes
This is the Sandpiper Stakes and ungraded stakes race for two-year-old fillies running a distance of six furlongs for a purse of $100,000.
I'm going with the 7/2 morning line favorite in this race, as well — Gulf Coast, with Antonio Gallardo aboard. This filly won her single career start, and she has the winningest jockey in this field at the reins.
At 30/1, I have to like You Never Call, with Tomas Mejia in the irons, for a value show wager. This filly moneyed two of her three career starts.
Pick Race 10 at Tampa Bay Downs
This is a maiden special weight race for two-year-old fillies running a distance of six furlongs for a purse of $26,000.
I'm going with the 3/1 morning line favorite here — South House, ridden by Ronald D. Allen, Jr. This filly moneyed one of her two career starts, which gives her the statistical lead in this mostly untried field of 11.

There are several longshots in this run, but unless you enjoy giving money away, it might be a good idea to keep your money in your pocket.
