HURRICANE IRMA, Race Fans and the Sunshine State

 Irma’s force swept Florida leaving no county unturned. OFF THE PACE suspended business as Irma ravaged a course up the west coast. TEAM DIVA understands first hand the effects of Irma’s wrath and is here for race fans from Gulfstream Park (south Florida), to Tampa Bay Downs (central Florida), to Ocala Breeders Sales (north Florida) and beyond. Please use the links provided to help out fellow horseman, cappers and enthusiasts in need. Florida, we will ‘ride safe – race strong!’

See you all at the finish.

God bless.
