I have actually had the most luck at Lone Star, but I always enjoy playing Churchill and do pretty well there...

It has been the same for me; I live there, as well. Mike Watchmaker has talked about the overlays at the Jersey tracks; they are a factor. I collected an exacta with two overlay horses at Monmouth this summer. I did VERY well!

Did great at Keenland in the spring before they installed the poly. It was as easy as waiting for dominant speed at good odds, particularly in routes.

Ha! Northville Harness is where I do my simulcast wagering now that I moved out here!

This year Kentucky has been good to me.

Most profitable at Churchill, but had a great run at Keeneland this fall, and have dropped a couple of big spot plays at Turfway that have turned out well for me too.

I need to learn to play Mountaineer again -- It was tricky but then I used to be okay at it when I lived in Portland but haven't played it since and have been afraid to throw away money while I was figuring it out again.

I was very good at Aqu's inner track in the 90's. Since then I have had spurratic luck at places like Gulfstream and Saratoga but no single track comes to mind. I tend to do awful on big days like Derby Day and BC Day.

Brian,
The thing that is good about that track (Mountaineer), is the field sizes are always really good, no matter what the weather is like. They race practically year-round there, and it rains/snows a lot there. When that happens, the horses don't scratch much, and most have wet-form.

This is seriously one track where I never want them to get Poly, because most horses have pretty good wet-form, which makes for good betting even in bad conditions.
