I am curious about this. If these horses are winning less than half as often as they should, why would a trainer want to waste a start on the horse when he can enter him to race back soon with a much better chance of winning. Long run I think they would do better with an auto scratch on these horses in most instances (certain stakes races might be an exception).
Vic, I agree with Lambo. Often there is very little time to make cancels on these horses. At home you are able to do it(although I have had instances where I could not get through 5 or 6 tickets), if you are up in the grandstand, good luck.
