Is that not dependent on motives? If you only have 10 horses in a yard with 20 empty boxes, you will probably try to hold onto the horse for as long as possible i.e. make up plenty of excuses. If you have 20 boxes and are full, there is an incentive for a trainer to get out the bad ones to make way for the good ones. Also, if you know your trainer well, you generally know the score. Particularly if they know you will go again.

 

Also, when I'm talking about excuses, these are often ones that are put forward before the race e.g. trip is too short but no other race to run in for three weeks. Runs down the field, then comes out over preferred longer trip, on right ground, and wins. I much prefer to know the excuse before the race!!
