I don't think so, as a matter of fact, I have a horse that proves the opposite. I have been pushing Whisper for longer and faster trots, and her slow saddle rack has become a full rack. Not a speed rack by any means, but she used to break gait and trot when pushed for speed. So trotting has improved her gaiting and increased speed in gait. Susan in NV read my blog to see why I ride my horse in pink: http://desertduty.blogspot.com/
