Turf Sprints have become more common at my track over the past couple of years. I'm still trying to pinpoint why, but I struggle with these types of races. Could be because they include a variety of horse profiles (e.g., dirt sprinters switching to turf, turf cutbacks, horses off of long layoffs, etc.)
Any ideas that have worked for you all? Appreciate your insights!

Hi & Welcome
Some steps on handicapping.....you can do this with practically all races..
1) Look at replays or read charts for last 2 , 3 days....
See how races ran.....Early, Late, Presser...which is where did the winner come from what position.....also note speed duels, lone speed changes things
2) Read PP's.....look for races that comes close to todays race...
Dont be afraid to look deep in PP's
Note if horse can compete in todays class and has the style that is winning these type races....
If a horse is doing something NEW for the first time....thats the hardest to handicap and you should pass that horse or race
This is a start......
