I have had mucho success betting horses that are switching from turf to
dirt races.
It seems that trainers will use grass racing as great conditioning tools in
order to get their horses dead fit with a future dirt race score in mind.
Can you elaborate? I am not good picking non-favorites on turf. Also, the vast majority of horses I see will go to turf out of frustration or to give a race and then return to dirt with a bad race.
Is it a trainer angle or are you talking about horses who start their careers on turf or what?
Do you have any secrets about why I am lousy at picking which European turfers with the great records across the pond win here and which ones fail miserably? Thanks.

Its A Good Way To Give A Horse A Good Workout Without Taking That Much Out Of Him Or Her As It Would On The Dirt

I too am a big follower of the turf to dirt racing angle.A horse really seems to be fired up when they return to the dirt surface,and time and again its the
closing route they use to get up.
I too love this angle. I will absolutely bet an entry that conforms to a small set of specific rules I use when the horse moves to a dirt sprint.
Don't have it in ink, but I believe the winners avg. 8-1 pt odds.
