Again, I don't know why you insist on saying Jotaro is "blood lusted". That's not a condition of the fight, and the only time he was ever that angry in the series he got himself in a whole heap of trouble, and remembered to calm down. He's never shown to be more effective in fights just because he's angry; in fact, the opposite is true.

Jotaro cannot stop to focus on Johnny without leaving himself vulnerable to Tusk. I very much doubt that Star Platinum could put Tusk down without getting hit himself; hell, we don't even know if you can attack Tusk, since no one ever hits it and it can phase inside of objects. It's possible that Tusk ACT 4 itself can't be damaged, or at the very least can't be damaged without affecting the hitter with the infinite rotation. Tusk ACT 4 is nothing like a traditional punchghost, after all.

I know Jotaro's fast, but he can't keep up with Johnny on horseback without Stand-leaping, and doing so exposes him to Tusk ACT 4. Time stop only helps him so much. As we can see from DIO, 5 seconds isn't enough time to move further than 10-15 meters, and Johnny can use Tusk from 20-30 meters away, perhaps even further with ACT 4. Jotaro can't catch up to Johnny with just the time stop. He could try to use a pebble to cripple Johnny's horse, but he has to focus to do that. That means standing still and, again, exposing himself to Tusk.

Jotaro's only hope is to use the time stop in small increments to try and dodge Tusk ACT 4 and get closer to Johnny. If he can get within close range of Johnny without completely exhausting his time-stop or getting hit by Tusk ACT 4, then he could probably win. But that is a big if, and the odds are against him. Johnny's more likely to pull ahead.

Star Platinum and Tusk ACT 4 are not that different physically, both being around the same strength, and Star Platinum being a bit better in both speed and precision. Better, but not dramatically better. The main problem for Jotaro here is that his Stand has such poor range. Tusk ACT 4 can only just about keep up with Star Platinum, but can do so without exposing it's user, since Johnny can be pretty far from his Stand. Jotaro cannot, and so is very exposed. This is why Tusk has the advantage. I'm not saying it's impossible for Jotaro to win, but it's less likely than Johnny winning.
