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.

And as I said to Andy's post, if you are talking about chances relative to odds, I can understand where you are coming from and give it more credence. But what I don't understand is why it's safe to assume that a horse that had a bad trip will get a better one next time but bad to assume that one that had a good trip will get another one next time.
