Horses (except at the very highest level of the game) a LIMITED ability to alter the way they effectively run (pressers, sustained, late etc) and once they are challenged by a pace scenario that weakens their ability to run to that standard, they do not do as well.
Other than form cycle changes, most horses are "stuck" in that style....Top horses follow the old adage "Class laughs at pace."
It is my contention that the only significant change that a horse deals with race to race is the pace challenge by the assembled group of other pace styles. IF this horse fits, it does well.
Horses do the running.....That's it
