No statistics to back it up but I also like Fair Grounds' turf course. No argument for anyone saying Belmont outer (except NOT at a mile and a sixteenth) or Woodbine, either.
The 'most fun' turf course is far and away Kentucky Downs. What a great place.
As for the pressers question, I think part of it is pressers tend to be speed that can't make the lead and don't want or know how to pass, so they invariably back up and run terribly. A STRONG presser versus cheap speed is about the best trip, IMO, because there's (a) no trouble and (b) no decision to be made about when to make a move.
