The nuances of trip handicapping can be easily missed. For example, and Andy may disagree, I think there is a horse in the feature today at Aqu who absolutely stands out based on his trip last time. It didn't have anything to do with him getting stopped or into trouble, but it had to do with race flow/dynamics.
That is where it is often quite safe to assume that a horse coming off a less than stellar trip will get a better one in his/her next start.
