I don't think he intended to catch the eye obviously - just meant to lean forward and hit him across the face more than once to teach him a lesson about lugging in.

I've got to tell you, I've watched this thing too many times at this point. But one thing I am starting to lean towards is that when watching the head-on view, it really seems to me that Dominguez's horse bears out into the 2's path. If you look at the paths in the grass, the winner comes out off of the darker grass and that's when Appeal to the City ducks in. She seems to lug in more when watching the pan view than the head on.
