I think it is odd they are racing the last day in June. This is from their website.

Sunday is their last day of this meet. Racing one day in June allows them to exercise a loophole in the law and host the simulcast signal year round, else they would have to get their simulcasts through Gulfstream, and pay them for it.

It is, perhaps the coup de grace that ended Calder's live meet. They were no longer getting simulcast host fees from Tampa.
