Anyone else see this race??

The 1,2, and 6 pulled-up, abruptly.
The 7 was the the only horse in front of them, and wasn't stopping.
The 8 was patiently ridden, especially when he passed the 5 on his own power on the back stretch, but may not have been involved in the trouble that caused the 1,2,6 to be abruptly pulled-up out of contention.
Upon viewing the head-on, the 7 was wider and not in the path of the 1,2, or 6.
Upon reading the chart, the chart-caller says that the 1 steadied in tight, and the chart caller missed the trouble with the 2 and the 6.
I do not know what happened.
