Not a trainer of TB's to race (but of hunter/jumpers), I do train running hounds, and as a vet: here you have the common situation of an animal that perceptively seems a bit not "usual" - examined by trainer, vet brought in to examine, nothing quantitatively found.
You are now in that nebulous grey zone every trainer hates. Did you catch something early, before it's overtly clinical, or is it nothing at all?
Every animal has an off day. Even elite athletes rarely perform at 100%. Did he clean up his feed? What's he doing in the stall, how is he acting otherwise?
You are left to rely on only two things: first, the animal telling you what he wants to do; secondly, your gut trainer "esp" regarding the situation.
The second should override the first, IMO, as if you're a good trainer, your esp will be correct nearly all of the time; secondly, the better the animal is, the more willing they will be to do what they love and risk self-destruction (they can't predict it).
It's not easy. If it is nothing, you're the astute trainer in tune with every nuance of the animals in your care; if it's something, and you let the animal run, you're the chump, the one ignorant of the fine points of husbandry.
Unfortunately it sometimes takes the pressure of performance to make subtle things apparent.
JMHO, your actual mileage may vary.
