A racetrack makes money by putting as many animals in the gate as they can for any given race. Any state vet who attempts to be conscientious and scratches animals who are a little bit sore costs the track money and will be replaced in due time.
The case of Sweet Catomine was very disheartening in that it seems like both racetrack and state personnel were aware that all was not right with SC, and yet she was allowed to run. If SC, a heavy favorite, scratched, the total handle on the race would have been greatly decreased. Ditto Achilles in the Gotham. Conflict of interest: Money v Well Being of Animals. Guess who usually wins that match up?
Ed Fountaine, who writes for The New York Post, said in his Sunday coverage of the Gotham that the "track vet" saw nothing wrong with Achilles post race. As such it is not likely that this vet would have seen anything BEFORE the race. (Fountaine, in a great piece of journalism during the time when NYRA's future was "day to day", pointed out a bit indignantly that among the cutbacks in the interest of austerity was that a free lunch was no longer provided in the press box).
The question which has not been addressed (and might not be answered honestly) is how Achilles warmed up for Dominquez.
