Good discussion. Here is something else to consider that is building on what classhandicapper described but with a different spin.
Let's add one other line to the horse CH used as an example. Let's say the horse is a 3yo or even a 4yo and in his most recent race he was was part of a pressured pace in which he earned a pace/final rating of: 120/100
Note that from a final-figure only perspective any improvement would be "hidden," but by looking at both pace and final figure you could interpret such a line in some very interesting and potentially profitable ways the next time he runs.
Of course, this all assumes we have reliable pace ratings to work with...
