But just expecting a bounce is not enough. The opposition has to be taken into account. She could have bounced to the moon and still been good enough to beat that field. So many times I see people say they expect a horse to bounce and automatically assume that means they can't win when in actuality, even huge regression is still much better than anything else the opponents can do.
