And then at the end of the conversation the trainer(s) says, "By the way we scoped both horses and they came back fine". And you don't ask why? Or the trainer never mentions why he/she scoped both horses?

Scoping horses after a race isn't normally routine -- especially at a place like Turfway.

Don't blow smoke OK?
