8. I just watched it. You're right.
The filly turns her head to the right at 1:47-48 seconds in the video "Iso-cam on Big Brown".

The gait looks a bit weird, now that we can re-run it, but I would not have noticed that at the time.

:cry:

This reminds me so much of Ruffian breaking down in 1975, it's horrible.
