I was thinking more about this race today and another thing dawned on me. When a saddle slips the rider will start screaming for the outrider to pick him up about one nano second after the wire. He'll also guide the horse toward the outside rail where horses are most familiar with slowing down. He seemed to gallop out in perfect rhythm and cornered just fine. Steering becomes a big issue with a slipped saddle.
Not feeling the explanation.
