red-up, or not ?

[lacurrant]

A profit traded on a horse in a race is usually greened-up through the field. What about a loss traded on a horse, - is it best to 'red-up' through the field or leave alone with the hope it doesn't 'win'?

Without any figures to hand, my guess is that what's good for green is also good for red?
Any views, or stats?

I'd red up.

Long term i doubt it makes any difference,
but i would rather green up and red up equally myself, other wise your going to have some big spikes in your profit and loss when the horse wins.
