I don't really mind the horse being tailed off ,, means the horse hasnt been bashed to the line for nothing and depending on what stage of the prep the horse is at , it sometimes means the horse hasnt peaked.

I like to look at why the horse has tailed off ,,
wide run ? tempo against ? track conditions ? interferrence ? or fitness ?

then gauge it from there ,,,the plus side to all this means the horse is usually way overs in the market.
