Tampa Bay Derby

The Tampa Bay Derby is an American Thoroughbred horse race held in mid-March at Tampa Bay Downs. A Grade II event since 2011, it is open to three-year-olds at a distance of one and one-sixteenth miles (8 12 furlongs) on the dirt. The race has gained in popularity over the past few years and is now listed as an official prep race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. In 2007, Street Sense became the first Tampa Bay Derby participant to win the Kentucky Derby. In 2010, Super Saver won the Kentucky Derby after finishing third in the Tampa Bay Derby.[3]

From 1995–2010, the Tampa Bay Derby and the Florida Oaks were run on the same race card. They were again presented on the same day in 2013, along with the Hillsborough Stakes, providing fans three graded stakes worth a combined $700,000.

Since 2016, the race has been called the Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby due to sponsorship.[2]
