I would be very surprised if Gulfstream didn’t run the dates. Consolidating South Florida racing dates has been a battle that Gulfstream has been fighting for decades. And it’s too bad, because Gulfstream’s turf course, or any turf course that gets that much rain for that matter, cannot handle that many racing dates imo. The only alternative now is to hope that Hialeah doesn’t like being in the cowboy racing business of running untimed quarter horse races for a couple weeks a year to satisfy the casino license
Tampa’s bloodstock comes from horsemen that run regularly up north, while Miami pulls from the eastern seaboard
