I am entirely against putting OFF SLOWLY into the figure, but then again I am against putting ground loss into the figure. ha! ha! ha! I want everything as a seperate trip note. :-)
However, if you are going to include it, it MIGHT (repeat MIGHT) make sense in some rare instances where a horse is typically not so sluggish out of the gate or where he got bumped slightly or cut off coming out of the gate and that caused it. I would have to see the head on shot to know.
On the flip side, some horses are off a little slowly every time they run and it's crazy to give them extra credit for being off slowly.
