Not the case on POLY, where it's not so hard to overcome pace errors. She lost to GP when Gomez was fumbling around with reins rather than just hand riding to the wire. He lost the race at KEE when he moved very prematurely, allowing the winner, who he had passed, to last move him. And he fell asleep in the BC. Honestly, the dude is the best finisher in the game but that's really pretty much the only area where he's better than a whole slew of other jocks.
