The headon shows the horse bouncing off the rail when hit by the whip. That's what caused what appears to be a bad step. Not easy to see from the pan shot.

didn't see the head on, but after watching the regular view, it looked like the horse jumped the tracks

He obviously didn't know the horse was that sensitive. He did just pick up the mount that day I believe. Maybe he thought the horse was starting to bear out. Now I am trying to find excuses. Perhaps he screwed up. It doesn't make him horrible. He is a good kid.
