    The worst tracks are ones swith short fields and high takeout so the best would be tracks with large fields and low takeout.

    Right now the best track is Evangeline Downs and the Gulfstream Pick 5

    evangeline?? it is full of delta and fg shippers...hard to decipher...yes, the fields are big but impossible to gauge...keeneland should be avoided like the plague...right now tampa bay is extremely formful but its almost over...

    Saratoga is the best. Full fields of quality stakes horses and big pools. It is also right there with Keenland as just the greatest day to day atmosphere in racing.

    The worst right now has to be aqueduct, 5 or 6 horse fields in the majority of the races.

    Best for me is Keeneland.

    depends on a lot of things.. do you favor speed? do you play longshots? chalk? pick 3,4,6?

    i personally love evangeline, huge fields, tons of big prices, every exotics you can ask for every race..

    Ya really depends on betting type. Big fields are great but doesnt mean anything if you cant pick a winner. My favorite track has to be Arlington. Nice prices and racing is one of a kind

    Ive done better at Keenland since they put poly in.When the fields are right the places i do well are,Keenland,Gulfstream,Hollywood Park,Del Mar Delaware and Arlington sometimes Chruchill.THE tracks i hate and lose at are Oaklawn,All Louisana tracks Saratoga and Emerald i sopped playing pretty much all those tracks.I also totally stopped playing Harness and QH just cant cash any more.I love the new track Chester but i cash nothing but favs there.

    Saratoga easily my favorite.

    I stopped playing Gulfstream years ago. Never could get a handle on that track.

    maybe the best answer is the tracks with the best takeout being the best... anything in PA is dreadful.. Keeneland is great, low takeout... sam houston pick 3's great..

    Best: The one I'm cashing tickets on

    Worst: the one where it seems like I'm playing random numbers

    dont knock the ("random") numbers thing Poppa Catfish.
    i went on a holy tear yesterday at saratoga with the 1/2/4/7 (my numbers) combo'd in dime supers. did i look at the pp's? No. did i care? not really-for $2.40 ill try just about anything.
    i remember someone posting here about the days when parlors wouldnt be able to supply the bettors with programs and the owners would end up closing shop. because guys would clean them out blindly playing their numbers. that was maybe one of the best tips ive ever read here.

    Arlington is easily one of the worst. Short fields and races dominated by a few trainers that are less than reputable.

    any track you make money at in the long run. I like mountaineer because its basicaly year round racing, you get to know the trainers,jocks, horses etc. and I like the new wagering menu. super every race.

    Not sure if they are available in US but in Canada if you like large fields, Hong Kong and Austrailia races are excellent and can be bet online through Woodbine.
