Answer
If the horse suddenly surges when a horse comes in sight or hesitates to move up until a challenger appears, then it may be a good idea to cut holes, or as we call them in the US, peepers, in the back of the blinker cup. It may be something you may have to experiment with to see if it help performance or not.
