Answer
hi  looks like he is on the left lead.  when a horse breaks from the starting gate he is usually on his left lead as he should be in order to make the first turn, then he straightens out down the back side and he should be on the right lead, then he comes into the top of the stretch and he should change back on his left lead to make the turn and continue down the stretch to the finish line.. some horses run on the wrong leads and run very well, some run on the right leads and do very well. hope that helps you. thanks ED HESS
