Does look a bit rough in a couple of spots. I'm guessing it has to be that swerve, a couple maybe, towards the end of the final turn, at about the 2:00 mark. Didn't look like it really ruined the chances of any horse though. No wait, War of Will did seem to get thrown off momentum pretty bad.
Looked to me as if he ran into the rump of Maximum Security throwing him off stride and dampening his pace, which distracted Max and caused him to stop turning and to go straight, which made it look as if he swerved right.

I think Max got screwed. lawsuits to follow no doubt!
