It seems pretty clear to me. Many people watch a race and see a check or shuffle back, or see those things in the trouble line, and assume that was the reason the horse didn't win the race...when in reality, the horse didn't do any running after the trouble anyway, so it didn't make much difference. The only ones that are bet- backs are the ones who ran into that kind of troubled trip, and then did some serious running once they have running room.
