Maybe I'd describe Ground-loss as having a 'synergistic' relationship w/ race-flow?
does that make sense?

When normal or favorable race flow and and ground loss match up, nothing really happens. Often it's just an expression of running style.
But when ground loss comes while a horse is significantly against the race-flow, you get these exponential, 'lollapalooza effects'. 1+1=3?
