Dirt.
Learned dirt only for first few years of following the game.
Turf racing has more close finishes both in sprints and routes, more of a rider's game on the green, less "obvious" winners on turf as compared to many dirt sprint angles (trainers), and just my records show I don't win as often or with mutuels at the same strike rate and ROI as Dirt. Beyer's, TG's, race replays.....none of it works for me as well as dirt.
I do find breeding helpful in turf maiden races and find occassional success at decent odds with these angles but never with a high confidence level as with trainer angles and/or numbers of a dirt race.
