I wonder is this might've had something to do with the fact that he actually changed leads in the lane --- something that he doesn't seem to do often. Which got me wondering whether Zito was training him.

This is not to say, of course, as some of the in-the-kniow types would quickly point out, that it's possible to get all horses to change leads on a consistent (by, say, focusing on turn training). After all, of all the dogs that Pavlov conditioned, I'm sure there were some that he just couldn't get to salivate when they heard that bell.
