For ground loss and trips. I do not do it that often. Way to many other things impact this. In Honor A.P.'s case. the one thing I see is that after the break, Smith is following Authentic, looks at the situation, and decides to get to the rail ASAP to avoid being wide on the first turn. Puts his horse in a new situation, and the horse responded. Sort of like Gunrunner or Arrogate in Dubai. I can't remember which one broke poorly. A lot of times this does not happen, the horse fails to respond. Still convinced that the BRIS #'s are a little low on this race.
