My two cents, I think trying to factor it into ratings, such as adjusting speed figures for ground loss, is generally ineffective. Most of the winter, for instance, outside paths at Aqueduct have been preferred. But I like to look at wide trips as excuses, especially when a horse is caught wide around two turns. A lot of wide trips in turf routes end up with a horse being beaten badly because the trip was so bad that the jockey just eased the horse up in the stretch. So it helps the price. I also like to see a horse that shows good late energy or hangs in there gamely after racing wide into the first turn going two turns. I don't think it's necessary or effective to try to play with the numbers. Just note that the horse raced gamely.
