Bad trips are not always the rider's fault and She's All Eltish has proven a tough horse to ride and one that has made a premature move in many of her races. Take a look at the Bonnie Miss. Not so dissimilar. In that case the field was possibly worse and the wet track probably hurt her yesterday.

It is a misconception to immediately gravitate towards the jockey when a horse gets a bad trip. It is often jockey error but far from always. In this case I tend to think it was situational and the horse.
