There isn't a bad place to see the races at TBD. I can't tell you about getting a table (I never have) but the Cuban sandwich is a must. Good luck.

Yes, not a bad place anywhere. I was surprised about the attendance too. The place was packed! We spent our day in the Silks Terrace and the second floor.
Really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend TBD to everyone.

It’s one of the best tracks to visit. We have a big group going in February and can’t wait. Glad you had fun.

headed back this year after breaking the maiden in 2023, vibe is chill

Hit up Cristino's like Steve recommended to me, place is money, crowded for a reason
If you go to Cristino's buy an extra for the next day for breakfast/lunch

headed back there 1st weekend in Feb

Staying in Safety Harbor again, very walkable with more than a few options for dining/drinking

WPS is 17%
P-5 is 15%
DD,P-3 & P-4 takeout are 18%

TRI & Super are a criminal 25.9%
