One of the tricky things about trips is people view things in a different light and it lad to communication issues.

1. A horse can get a better/worse trip than other horses in the race without it necessarily being good/bad.

If three horses are engaged in a savage duel, the horse sitting just off them is getting a better trip than them, but not necessarily a good one depending on how fast they were all going.

Did he get a good trip if he was also running too fast? No

Did he get a trip that helped him win? Possibly, depending on who was behind him.

2. What does a "good rail" mean?

For some people it means the rail is clearly the fastest path and is moving horses up relative their typical performance.

For some people it just means saving ground is an advantage (as it should be on the typical day).
