The problem with ground loss figures in my opinion because it cannot be universally applied to every race.
I think we all know the scenarios but sometimes inside is worse and sometimes wide is worse, sometimes wide is better. If you are adjusting a horses effort for ground loss in a performance figure than you would have to know which scenario was hurtful and which one was beneficial.
And then there is the whole animal part of this throwing another dynamic.
I think the best would be to label turn ground loss relative to the rail on both turns and let the handicapper make his own judgement on the figure.
