Even though the picture doesn't suggest it, the outrider on the outside fence was in the path of the starting beam:




If people ever wondered why it seems so hard for horses to pass on the inside through the stretch even when they have a huge hole ... it's because the camera angle.

If you have two closers appearing to move together in the stretch, one on the rail, and one in the 6th path.

The closer in the 6 path is CLEARLY in front and they most certainly aren't on even terms even though they appear it.

Some horses will get intimidated when they try to go inside through tight quarters... but mostly, it's a camera angle and a self fulfilling prophecy because jockeys always try to get outside for a clear wide run when they're confident and full of run. Dominguez and Borel were always the two biggest exceptions to the rule, but Dominguez quickly got away from that when he came to New York a few years ago.
