I think that Doug was specifically pointing out that the plot called for a stupid track design, which makes it that little bit more unforgivable. It wasn't even necessary, thanks to AJ's bit of mobile statuary and Rarity's likely-illegal lane-blocker. It would have been a bit more plausible for Rarity not to be able to overtake Applejack (because her cart's wings were too wide to let her manoeuvre around the slow Apple Cart) and for Rainbow to crash into the back of the resulting mobile traffic jam.
