The Sam F. Davis Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held each winter at Tampa Bay Downs racetrack in Oldsmar, Florida. It is open to three-year-olds and is used as a prep race for the Grade II Tampa Bay Derby. In recent years, it has served as an early prep for the Kentucky Derby, producing at least one starter in the Run for the Roses in 10 of the last 11 years. Five winners of the race have gone on to win the Tampa Bay Derby: Phantom Jet (1987), Speedy Cure (1991), Marco Bay (1993), Thundering Storm (1996) and Burning Roma (2001). In 2009, this race, which headlines Tampa Bay Downs' Festival Preview Day, was awarded Grade III status.〔(Six New Grade I Races for 2009 - bloodhorse.com )〕 It is run at a distance of miles (8.5 furlongs) on dirt and currently offers a purse of $250,000. The race was run in two divisions in 1984. ==Records== Speed record: * 1:43.54 - General Quarters (2009) Largest Winning Margin: * lengths - San Gennaro (1999) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sam F.
