I would think it hurts front runners in two turn races.

Horses in front don't get the benefit of running with the wind on the second turn, because the horses behind block the wind and get the push - the reverse happens on the first turn, with the lead horse getting the brunt of it.

The one turn races are a bit more complicated, because they should be run a bit quicker, favoring front runners - and maybe that compensates for the tailwind.

(Sorry for the edits. I had the wind directions reversed).
