I know that for most people this will probably be a bi-product of punting results, but I'm going to answer this more in terms of quality of track and particular nuiances I either like or dislike:
Like:
Flemington - long straight, every horse gets a chance. Best track in Australia, no doubt imo.
Randwick - high quality surface, nice long runs along the back and side. Again, fair and I think the best horse generally wins
Penrith - ok this is more of a betting thing I admit. If the favourite gets out ok and is in the front row, wins 95% of the time. They really struggle to get around favourites here
Hobart (dogs) - love a long straight and this track delivers
Healesville - love the inside boxes here. Straight dog racing - yes please!
Worst:
Money Valley - it's called money valley for a reason. Inevitably sucks your money up. I don't get how anyone wins at money valley, it's a disgusting track that should be turned in to a tip
Cairns/Mackay - the track with the super long straight. Get f**ked. The straight here is just that little bit too long for me
Oakbank - stupid course, not even made for racing. The ground is so uneven, horses appear to run in to grand canyons at various points around the track
Glouscter Park - maybe it's the time of the day when I usually dabble here but I can't stand the track. You have no chance if you're behind the leader, it bloody sucks.
Manukau - filthy. Has a favourite won here in the last 86 years?
