At first I thought he just stopped riding because he knew he wasn't catching the winner and he had the horse coming on the outside beat. He just wasn't aware of the horse coming on the rail.
But after watching it a few times I really think that Centeno thought something was wrong with the horse. When he stopped riding the winner was clear of him, but he was still looking over his right shoulder almost like he was trying to get the horse out. He was clear where he was, but with the field coming behind him, it was alomst like he was trying to get out of harms way in case something was seriously wrong. I have no idea how the horse galloped out/ended up, but it just seemed like he was trying to get to the right for no reason, when it seemed like he was pretty much clear of any trouble. I did think that the head on made it seem like it was closer than it actually was.
