Anyone catch that gem?

What exactly happened there? From the pan shot, the inference is that he's squeezed going into the turn. From the headon, it's hard to tell whether the horse to his outside comes in or it's because the horse ahead of him, in the 2 path, backs up a bit. Frankly, it appears as if he checked needlessly.
