Fairchild...I have the same issue you do, I can only play night tracks because I work during the day. Charlestown is a six furlong track and they have those two turn sprints and a lot of 4.5f races. If your having a problem with CT at this time, I suggest you try playing Penn National for a while and then Mountaineer will open around 4/15. I have been playing Penn National now steady for over a year but I'm getting kind of bored with it right now, so I'm waiting for Mountianeer to open up for a change of pace. I'm not saying these tracks will be any easier to play because they have their own issues, but they are both 1 mile tracks.

Like Mitch44 said, the last line is not always the best line to use. I used to have a fetish about using the last line all the time, but after I started getting away from that and having the courage to go down deeper for a better line, my results improved. Listen to some of the stuff Tom Brohamer has to say about paceline selection. That's what really got me to think different

I wish I could play the day tracks but I can only do that on weekends. I live less than a mile away from Parx, I mean I could even walk there, but I can only play it on weekends when I'm not working.
