What is everyones favourite and most disliked tracks in all codes and why?

Caulfield - Older track with character and atmosphere
Richmond - Love the richmond dogs....

Gawler - harness... to leader biased
Mooney Valley, Gawler ....
Casino (dogs).... what a joke...

casino dogs - one the lids open you know if you have a chance

cannington - if you lose on the dogs they have gaming tables!!!!!

strathalbyn dogs - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Gloucester Park - in the stands or the lawn, brilliant place to watch trots.

sunshine coast - every horse gets its chance

dislikes

ANGLE PARK - track surface is unsafe

those country racetracks in NSW where they have to run a lap and a half to run a 1600m race and being 3 wide puts you on the outside fence.

likes horsham dogs
albion trots and flemington horses.
disikes port pirie dogs
gawler trots and gawler races.

dislikes Port Augusta racecourse - what a sh1thole!! close it down FFS

I dislike Mt Gambier with that shitty bend in the straight...

I like Morphettville since they have done it up also like Vic park for the various races you can have there...

Dislike Monnee Valley and Eagle Farm...

love gawler trots, if ya do your form you'l know whos going going 2 be infront, and thats a huge advantage.

likes tracks when you win
dislikes tracks when you lose

Drivers were saying during the Inter there that its a glorified dig track....now thats a leaders track

Gallops - I hate Money Valley to punt at but great venue to attend, Ive been to Belmont and its a superb set up

Caulfield is also a great set up

these are all from a personal punting perspective
love
ballarat / horsham / cannington dogs
albion pk / mooney valley / ballarat trots
Flemington / Eagle farm / Belmont / Scone / Pinjarra gallops



hate
nowra / warnambool / geelong / angle pk / wenty pk dogs
cranbourne / newcastle / geelong trots ... i know cranbourne and newcastle are spacious tracks but i hate em
mt gambier / gawler / canberra (synthetic) gallops


worst venue's ever that are no longer used
beenliegh dogs
toowoomba trots .... Leader could be running on 1 leg but would still kick and win down the 50 mtr straight !! If you could find the 3 on the rail you had a huge chance for the trifecta...

I steadfastly refuse to even look at Harold Park fields
Its a flying saucer track
Went there once, once too often

My favourite all time track was the old Olympic Park dog track
I used to love watching the races at the top of the stand as
you could see the dogs tops of thier bodies as they raced
You could see what railed what ran wide and a faboulous venue

Best current track Oakbank

Gloucester Park would have to be the WORST Trotting track in the world.
Other worst tracks would be any track with NO sprint lane.
Nothing wrong with Harold Park MAL, It's just the Drivers that make it look bad.
Cranbourne Trots are the Biggest Joke in Victoria, Potentially the best track but the biggest leaders track anywhere BAR Gloucester Park.

All Gallop tracks r crap especially Vic Park.

Strathalbyn has the best greyhound track in Australia except when they have those stupid 416m races which start on the bend and 1/2 the field fall over every race.STUPID!!!!!!

i used to enjoy punting on the beenleigh dogs.......it was a sad day when it closed down.

I didnt mind singleton on the grass, but that closed down once the gardens opened up

I went to the races in Bankok once. The track made Port Augusta look like Flemington.
If the rider didn't fall off his horse he generally won.

scoob has been to the Penong races..... what are they like scoob?

The Royal Ascot of the West Coast.
