Re: Significance of Ground Loss (796 Views)

I think the effect of ground loss is often offset, at least in part, by the benefits of a cleaner trip. I analyzed some Derby stats a couple of years ago and found that, among horses who ran reasonably well, horses in the 2 or 3 path going into the first turn ran between three-quarters and one point better relative to their previous top than their counterparts getting a rail trip.
