I don't know if this is as obvious as it might appear. From the pan shot, it seems that he just stops riding. From the headon, it appears that the winner comes over enough to force Centeno to steady and for his horse to lose stride. It looks a lot worse in the headon as, from the pan, it appears that the winner is very clear when coming over. Yet, the slight hesitation by Centeno is enough to get his horse off stride and he's unable to get her back in gear. Maybe he doesn't try hard enough but it'd be hard to make this one stick, IMO.
