Interesting. It's the opposite for me. Although this is slightly off-topic as it deals with record keeping and not modeling I offer the following as an incentive for you to keep your own records and find out what works for you.

For Single Horse Win bets:

*Dirt Claiming and Allowance sprints generate my highest win percentage.

*Turf routes have the greatest ROI.

*I've lost money on artifical surfaces with the exception of Woodbine.

Based on fixed odds of 7/2, and pari-mutuel odds of 4-1 at post time my overall ROI for year was 1.13 (or a $Net of $2.26). However this is somewhat overinflated as rebates are included.

So, based on my record keeping the only artfical surface I'll be win betting for 2012 is Woodbine.

Record keeping -- it's a pain in the keister...but without it...well, you get the picture.
