You are limited to playing only 2 tracks...
If you were limited to playing only two tracks, which would they be and why?

I was just looking at my results by track over the past year or so yesterday. I have played GP sparingly and tapeta not at all for quite a while but I have thrown away more money than I should have with them and will no longer even look at their races.
I see that I am doing very well at Aqu and Pha so will look to press my action there. If you keep records that should be your guide.

It seems weird to me since I don't play tapeta either but ever since they added it my results there on the dirt surface have went into the garbage can.

My first instinct was Parx and Gulfstream since they both run year round. But they don't run the same days of the week, and I find playing only one track per day to be mind numbingly boring.
I'm going to cheat and pretend you meant two circuits, not tracks, and say NYRA and Maryland.

It would be the 2 tracks that offered the most races for winners on the day I'm playing.

Oaklawn Park
Saratoga
These are the only two tracks I focus on all year round. Sure, I'll post some full card picks from Keeneland or Gulfstream etc. but if it were limited, then the top 2 above would be my tracks of choice.
Oaklawn Park since that is the best track that I've handicapped over the past 5 years (in terms of win % and profitability), and then just the past three years at Saratoga in the summer, where my win % is a bit lower than Oaklawn but I've hit a lot of longshots which helps the ROI.

It takes a lot of energy and a larger bankroll to attempt more than two tracks any given day, in my opinion.
My best days are when I watch one or two, and much of it depends upon the card.

Sha Tin and Happy Valley in Hong Kong which each run their races once a week.
Why?
Consistently large fields
Lots of Turf racing
Excellent pre-race commentary
Enormous betting pools
Total restriction of race time drug use
Opportunity for profit
