I am a very casual handicapper and would like to make a computer program or spreadsheet to aid me with some supporting calculations, but first I would need to know exactly what surface is in use at what track. The PP's from racing form do not make this obvious enough for me.

For instance, if I know they're not on turf at Turfway, I would need to know about Turfway in order to not assume they are running on dirt. And vice-versa with Churchill.

Does anybody know of a complete and up-to-date list posted (and maintained) anywhere on the web? A pdf would work too if downloadable.

Thanks a ton...

It's good that you are interested in racing but if you are serious it is very easy to figure out what surfaces each tracks have.

If you want to write code you should do homework on your own. You might learn a bit more about the game if you put the effort into downloading charts from equibase.com. You can sign up at drf.com and download past performances , or bookmark an informative site such as equidaily.com.
