From what I saw in the video it appears the horse finally starts moving toward the rail as he goes into the turn and appears to be less rank at that point. This is when the horse gets smacked in the face. Did I see that correctly? If so it was unfair to slap the horse in the face at that point. If it was done as an attempt to gain control in a dangerous situation so be it.
His quote about it pretty much admitted that it was unnecessary and done only out of frustration.
