It's just regression to the mean. If a horse runs a race where he runs better than he does on average chances are he'll regress to the mean next out. It is not a rule that any horse that runs a big race though will bounce which the bounce theorists would make you believe. Sometimes it is just an improving horse that will keep improving.
