When it comes to evaluating point form, bumpers, maiden, novice and juvenile races it's definitely relevant to have a look at what others in the race have been able to do subsequently. But it's only relevant to have a look at the horses in behind, what the ones in front go on to do means almost nothing. One of the greatest fallacies is to give extra attention to a horse because it was placed behind something that has since gone on to better things.
