I think it's an important piece of information (assuming you are very familiar with all the horses on the circuit). If you are, you'll spot the qualitatively strong and weak fields easier by name and see the gaps between horses - which can sometimes help you identify very strong performances based on how far ahead of the rest of the field a horse finished and who those horses were.
Only going directly to the charts to see "all" the horses in the race, watching the replay to see their relative trips, and then using Formulator to look at their PPs and see how they've been running coming out of the race is more significant.
If you aren't familiar with the horses and their relative trips in the race or believe 100% in the accuracy of numbers to measure how well a horse ran (I don't at all), then you need not bother.
