Without having to relive this debacle by going back and watching it again, first off he never even sniffs the rail breaking from the 3 post with a speed horse, then he allows himself to get "blind-switched" (harness term for not realizing someone is coming on the outside, and getting trapped) by Cornelio.. then due to anger or embarassment (my opinion only), he forces his horse into a tiny whole, risking his and the horse's well being. Their is a big difference between patient and clue-less.. had he been just being patient, he would have let Cornelio go and just swung around him.
