Don't mix surfaces particularly TURF and DIRT or even with POLY no matter what the manufacturers say.

Sprint/Route...the interchanged doesn't matter. Just match the horses to the fastest intermediate time they did well against. That would mean using very few routes in sprints (happens at a few regularly like Philly Hastings) but the other way round in OFTEN okay. You cannot know how a horse can do in projection against the fastest possible pace that has been accomplished by a horse in today's race unless you match that line to his.
