News summary

The Tampa Bay Derby, a key qualifying race for the Kentucky Derby, will take place on March 8 at Tampa Bay Downs, featuring seven 3-year-old colts competing for a total of 105 Derby points. This year’s race highlights the return of Chancer McPatrick, a two-time Grade 1 winner, who is looking to rebound after a disappointing two-turn debut last year. Owen Almighty, a local favorite, is expected to contend strongly, having shown promise in previous races despite a disqualification in the Pasco Stakes. The event is becoming increasingly significant as a Triple Crown prep, with past winners achieving notable success in subsequent major races. The race will be broadcast on FS2 and FanDuel TV, with post time set for 5:34 p.m. ET. Analysts are keeping a close eye on the contenders, with expectations of an exciting competition ahead.
