Teaching a horse to track and rate

hey guys, I haven't been at this training deal very long, and am having a few issues, and was hoping to get some input from you guys. I have a 4 year old gelding that I have started tracking the sled on. He tracks it really well, but always rolls right up on it and doesn't want to rate off of it. I am really not sure what method I should be using in order to teach him to rate off of it. Was thinking that by stopping and backing him every time he doesn't rate off it might be the trick, but didn't want to make a mistake by doing that if it wasn't correct. Been working him at a trot and walk up to this point. Really just trying to make a breakaway horse out of him if that helps any. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
