Basically yes. The perfect chocobo imo is Head Start + Choco Dash III. You get so far from the group the first 5 seconds you are practically unreachable the rest of the race and have absolute control over the coffers that keep popping. In one of my gen chocobos (I think it was 3), I had head start + choco dash I. Kept winning no matter what, it was rather silly, but fun.
