It's one of the great mysteries for me as to why handicapping changes from track to track, and why some seem rather easy to figure out both winning and losing races, while others don't make any sense.

Aside from each of us being more or less familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the the local trainer/jockey colony and track biases, I think the surface itself (both dirt and turf surfaces can vary from track to track) and the quality of the horses change which factors are more or less important. We get used to handicapping at a certain track and build a mental model for what works best. Then when we handicap somewhere else, it doesn't work quite the same.
