Have a horse that smokes a pattern in practice and small shows. Get to big shows and it's like he has stage fright. Have tried all the calming pastes there are. He's a stud so ace is out of the question. Any suggestions

Not trying to be funny but try the calming stuff on yourself.

My trainer rides him and she is completely 100% calm. He walks in arena fine but once he starts his run it's like he panics

 I'd look for pain.  Mine was the same way; stellar ANYWHERE but when you entered.  I chalked it up to him hating it and continued to rope on him.  7-8 years later fast forward and we find out he's got a chip in his right knee--right barrel is the one he'd ignore and smoke the other 2.  He was sound otherwise so I continued to ride him.
