Southwell without a doubt.

Well the results show that 4 tracks hold the key to our successes.

Southwell, Dundalk, Ascot and The Curragh.

We should run a test.

Next time one of these meetings is on I will have a flick through the card and have a bet or two and I will monitor the P&L for few weeks too.

Aye, i think a few year ago i made a few pound on a horse trained by Peter Hiatt that loved that track.

Good topic Op !

I had a little fun counting how many of those racecources I've been to. 16 in all.

Of those on the list, I have probably had more success at Newmarket, although this probably has as much to do with the regular frequency of good racing there than my ability to pick winners.
But for a bet per course return, York has probably yielded a higher profit over the years.

Off the list, Nottingham is my happiest hunting ground. The slightly descending straight course there is one of the best in the UK in my opinion.

I don't like betting at Epsom. The undulations and camber on the track don't suit every horse. I think The Curragh is a better test of a good horse.

I don't go mad at Chester either, I just don't like the tight, almost circular course. I'll include my local racecourse, Galway here for the same reason. The horses are almost continually rounding a bend. Give me the long cavalry charges seen at Nemarket, York and Ascot with the field breaking into groupes of two. To me thats racing at its best !

Of the courses on that list, York is probably my favourite.
