They just showed the overhead shot - Borel takes advantage of the natural tendency of horses to drift off the rail on the turn (it's physics, masses in motion tend to want to keep going in a straight line). He really does steer right up the rail, hugging it tightly.

Hard Spun ran an estimable race, as well, setting all the fractions and still running at the end. The rest were another 8 lengths behind. So much for leaving his race in his workout.
